Joseph Stalin

603 books478 followers
Joseph Stalin, originally Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili, was a Soviet revolutionary, politician and statesman who became the leader of the Soviet Union from 1924 until his death in 1953. He held power as General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1922–1952) and Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union (1941–1953).

Initially governing the country as part of a collective leadership, he consolidated power to become an informal dictator by the 1930s. Ideologically adhering to the Leninist interpretation of Marxism, he formalised these ideas as Marxism–Leninism, while his own policies are called Stalinism.

É a obra sobre as questões formuladas por Leninismo, em defesa da sua interpretação, o autor faz a sua argumentação para se defender aos ataques da oposição que o caminho e a sua direcção estavam a ter com a revolução da Rússia. Em protecção da sua interpretação sobre os ensinamentos que teve do Lenine os problemas essenciais: União do proletariado e dos camponeses, oposição sobre a revolução permanente por da oposição não levar a sério a questão dos camponeses, a dualidade entre partido/classe proletariado. Em suma, a planificação e a direcção faria sentido, numa época inicial do capitalismo, em chamada a acumulação original. A questão dos tempos ultimatos será: Fará sentido a planificação e distribuição de riqueza numa sociedade só sabe produzir o caos?

A work that gets to the heart of Marxist-Leninist philosophy and theory. What propels Stalin's work isn't just that he tackles these subjects thoroughly, but that he covers them succinctly and with brevity. There's no bloviation present here, but a quick and to the point breakdown of the core concepts of Leninism. Stalin's style is easy to read and compelling, and not just for Communists, but for anyone interested in philosophy or political theory.

« К вопросам ленинизма » est une œuvre majeure parmi les travaux de Staline, en complément du texte plus connu Les Principes du léninisme. Dans ce court texte, Staline s'attaque aux déviations opportunistes de l'opposition, principalement de Zinoviev, ainsi qu'à la théorie de la révolution permanente de Trotsky. Staline décrit la relation entre l'État de la dictature du prolétariat et les masses, et l'oppose à la vision erronée de Zinoviev qui substitue à la dictature du prolétariat la dictature du parti. La dictature du prolétariat, comme la décrit Staline, se compose de plusieurs éléments, dont la direction de l'avant-garde du prolétariat (le parti), mais celle-ci se fait surtout par l'intermédiaire des organisations de masses, des syndicats et par la confiance des masses dans le parti, lequel dirige en fonction des intérêts des masses travailleuses et de leur niveau de conscience.

L'autre question majeure de ce texte est celle de la révolution permanente ou du socialisme dans un seul pays. Ici, Staline s'oppose à cette vision et rectifie l'incompréhension liée à la nécessité internationale de la révolution. Loin de prétendre que la victoire finale et décisive du socialisme peut s'opérer dans la stricte limite de l'URSS, Staline affirme que la construction du socialisme est possible dans un seul pays, mais que le risque d'intervention étrangère et de contre-révolution existera tant que la victoire du socialisme ne sera pas une réalité dans une majorité de pays, ou au moins dans quelques pays.

Il s'ensuit que la théorie de la révolution permanente, prenant son origine dans une incompréhension des dynamiques de classes et notamment de la signification de la dictature du prolétariat, nie la possibilité de la construction du socialisme dans un seul pays, faisant reposer le salut de la révolution sur le prolétariat européen. Brillant ainsi par son défaitisme et son absence de confiance dans les masses travailleuses soviétiques, la théorie de la révolution permanente ne leur offre aucune perspective et doit obligatoirement aboutir, soit à l'aventurisme guerrier pour exporter artificiellement le socialisme en Europe (soudant ainsi l'alliance de la bourgeoisie réactionnaire dans la destruction de l'URSS), soit à la capitulation et la trahison de la révolution, voie que choisira Trotski par ailleurs dans les années qui suivront son exil.

One of the most important works in the study of Leninism, to be read by any serious Marxist-Leninist many times over.

In this short piece, Stalin defends the points outlined in his most famous book, the Foundations of Leninism, and the theory of Leninism overall from the distortions of the deviationists in the CPSU(B), most notably Zinoviev. Stalin elaborates in further detail on the role of the Communist Party in the state of the dictatorship of the proletariat and the proletarian revolution, the importance of the Soviets, and explains both the rejection of Leninism posed by Trotsky's theory of "permanent revolution" and defending the theory of socialism in one country. Stalin does this primarily by basing himself on the writings of Lenin, proving that the points he makes are the positions Lenin held and would have supported.

Overall an excellent book which should be read by every person interested in the study of Leninism after reading the Foundations of Leninism.
