Synopsis
What really happened in Russia before, during and after the Bolshevik insurrection of October 1917? How did Bolshevism slide so quickly into Stalinism? Was there ever a difference? What democratic alternatives existed? No Less Than Mystic is a fresh and iconoclastic history of Lenin and the Russian Revolution for a 21st Century left. Covering the period 1903 to 1921, it opens up the past to the present by contrasting the Revolution with contemporary struggles such as those of the British Miners' Strike, the Zapatistas, the Kurds, Argentina's "Recovered Factories", Occupy, Intersectional feminism and Greece's Solidarity Economy. A political and historical deconstruction of Lenin and Leninism, No Less Than Mystic argues the case for defeated radicals like Left Menshevik Julius Martov, anarchist partisan Nestor Makhno, sexual liberator Alexandra Kollontai and the sailors of the Kronstadt rebellion. Lenin and the Bolshevik Revolution continue to be mythologised by both left and right. No Less Than Mystic rejects legend and propaganda for the complex and inconvenient truth. Book jacket., Published in the centenary year of the 1917 Russian Revolution, No Less Than Mystic is a fresh and iconoclastic history of Lenin and the Bolsheviks for a generation uninterested in Cold War ideologies and stereotypes. Although it offers a full and complete history of Leninism, 1917, the Russian Civil War and its aftermath, the book devotes more time than usual to the policies and actions of the socialist alternatives to Bolshevism - to the Menshevik Internationalists, the Socialist Revolutionaries (SRs), the Jewish Bundists and the anarchists. It prioritises Factory Committees, local Soviets, the Womens' Zhenotdel movement, Proletkult and the Kronstadt sailors as much as the statements and actions of Lenin and Trotsky. Using the neglected writings and memoirs of Mensheviks like Julius Martov, SRs like Victor Chernov, Bolshevik oppositionists like Alexandra Kollontai and anarchists like Nestor Makhno, it traces a revolution gone wrong and suggests how it might have produced a more libertarian, emancipatory socialism than that created by Lenin and the Bolsheviks. Although the book broadly covers the period from 1903 (the formation of the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks) to 1921 (the suppression of the Kronstadt rebellion) and explains why the Bolshevik Revolution degenerated so quickly into its apparent opposite, it continually examines the Leninist experiment through the lens of a 21st century, de-centralised, ecological, anti-productivist and feminist socialism. Throughout its narrative it interweaves and draws parallels with contemporary anti-capitalist struggles such as those of the Zapatistas, the Kurds, the Argentinean "Recovered Factories", Occupy, the Arab Spring, the Indignados andIntersectional feminists, attempting to open up the past to the present and points in between. We do not need another standard history of the Russian Revolution.

    I am very happy with my purchase experience with this seller! The book is exactly as described - even better, actually. I would say it is in excellent condition given it’s over 60 years old. The book was packaged very well and arrived in excellent condition. The cost of shipping was more than reasonable and shipping speed was fast. I feel that I got a great deal because the price was exceptionally low and the quality was high as compared to other sellers. I highly recommend this seller! A+++++!!
