Lenin and the Problem of the Transition

Hegel noted the ruse of reason. He followed its path in the unfolding of mind in the matrix of history. In turn, the Russian revolution came to embody one of its most exemplary instances. The first people in the world to lead their own glorious revolution would, in the space of a few years, find themselves under the most despotic regime that history has known. Because of this reversal, it is necessary to find a reason for this tragic history, to fix its origins, to examine the reasons for the ruse, and finally, to display the contradiction. This contradiction already can be read in what Marx proclaims of socialism and in how Lenin replies to him
