## Description

"Brilliant and beautiful. Now this book exists, it’s hard to know how we did without it." –China Miéville, author of October A cultural and intellectual balance-sheet of the twentieth century's age of revolutions This book reinterprets the history of nineteenth and twentieth-century revolutions by composing a constellation of "dialectical images": Marx's "locomotives of history," Alexandra Kollontai's sexually liberated bodies, Lenin's mummified body, Auguste Blanqui's barricades and red flags, the Paris Commune's demolition of the Vendome Column, among several others. It connects theories with the existential trajectories of the thinkers who elaborated them, by sketching the diverse profiles of revolutionary intellectuals--from Marx and Bakunin to Luxemburg and the Bolsheviks, from Mao and Ho Chi Minh to José Carlos Mariátegui, C.L.R. James, and other rebellious spirits from the South--as outcasts and pariahs. And finally, it analyzes the entanglement between revolution and communism that so deeply shaped the history of the twentieth century. This book thus merges ideas and representations by devoting an equal importance to theoretical and iconographic sources, offering for our troubled present a new intellectual history of the revolutionary past.

### ⭐ An ideological analysis of certain revolutionary themes; short on facts long on ideology
*by F***T on October 9, 2022*

As someone interested in the theme of historical memory versus historical truth I had high expectations when I purchased this book. However, the author cares little for facts or for different interpretations of events. Very early in the work he dismisses, in a footnote, fact based works on revolutions which take a critical approach to the Marxist interpretation of events without ever engaging with the arguments. In short, and oh were the book short, an ideological screed for those who prefer ideological interpretations to facts and investigative history. I regret the money to buy it and the time spent reading it.
