From Cuba to Vietnam, from China to South Africa, the October
Revolution inspired millions of people beyond the territory of
Russia. The Revolution proved that the masses could not only
overthrow autocratic governments, but also form an opposing
government in their own image. The new idea that the working class
and the peasantry could be allied, combined with the clear strength
and necessity of a vanguard party, guided multiplying revolutions
across the globe. This book explains the ideological power of the
October Revolution in the Global South. From Ho Chi Minh to Fidel
Castro, to reflections on polycentric Communism and collective
memories of Communism, it shows how, for a brief moment, another
world was possible. It is not a comprehensive study, but a small
book with a large hope - that a new generation will come to see the
importance of this revolutionary spirit for the working class and
peasantry in the parts of the world that suffered under the heel of
colonial domination for centuries.
