MONDAY 21st June 20.00 - 21.30 Eastern Standard Time/ TUESDAY 22nd June 01.00 BST The author, Eric Blanc (New York University), will discuss his new book with : Bhaskar Sunkara, Jacobin Magazine Meagan Day, Jacobin Magazine Lars Lih, author of Lenin Rediscovered Through impressive research and erudite argumentation, this monumental study of the broad array of ‘revolutionary social democratic’ parties that operated in the non-Russian borderlands of the Tsarist Empire in the decades leading to 1917 definitively shows why there was no ‘one-size-fits-all’ revolutionary practice and why there is no reason to overgeneralize the international relevance of the form taken by the October Revolution. A tour de force which provides strong historical foundations for all those today working to develop an anticapitalist, democratic socialist political strategy for renewed working-class formation and state transformation.” — Leo Panitch, York University Organised by Historical Materialism: Research in Critical Marxist Theory Book Series, in Association with Brill publishers and Haymarket Books Eric Blanc (2021)Revolutionary Social Democracy: Working-Class Politics Across the Russian Empire (1882-1917) published in the Historical Materialism Book Series, Volume: 228, Leiden: Brill. https://brill.com/view/title/56248 ---------------------------------------------------- This event is co-sponsored by Haymarket Books and Historical Materialism.
