Leninism provides an in-depth analysis of the economic and
political doctrines of Lenin, creator of the Communist Party that
came into power in Russia in 1917. Based upon the author's
comprehensive reading of Lenin's Collected Works (some 10 million
words in Russian), the study dissects Lenin's political economy,
and shows it to be pseudoscience, based on simple, arbitrary, and
unrealistic assumptions. According to Dovring, Lenin was a
politician, not a scientist, and his aim was power, not truth. The
work begins by providing a brief sketch of Lenin's life and an
overview of his career as a writer. Four substantive chapters
analyze Lenin's treatment of the peasant problem, science, the
proletariat, and democracy. Closing chapters deal with Lenin's
personality, which is shown to be pathological in its inability to
make concessions to intellectual argument, and the prevalence of
pseudoscience in his doctrines. Lenin's doctrines became the
groundwork of the Soviet system, and he is responsible for creating
its absurdities. The subsequent collapse of the Soviet system,
therefore, must be seen in this light.
