V.I. Lenin and the Russian Revolution

As 2017, the 100th anniversary of the 1917 Russian Revolution, draws to a close we thought it a good time to revisit this discussion from February 8, 2016 with Brian Becker of The Party for Socialism and Liberation. We talked about his recently published book, Imperialism in the 21st Century: Updating Lenin’s Theory a Century Later, V.I. Lenin’s theory of imperialism and its relationship to the world today, differences between revolutionary and democratic socialism, and the 2016 presidential election.
