Why has communism's humanist quest for freedom and social justice
without exception resulted in the reign of terror and lies? The
authors of this collective volume address this urgent question
covering the one hundred years since Lenin's coup brought the first
communist regime to power in St. Petersburg, Russia in November
1917. The first part of the volume is dedicated to the varieties of
communist fantasies of salvation, and the remaining three consider
how communist experiments over many different times and regions
attempted to manage economics, politics, as well as society and
culture. Although each communist project was adapted to the
situation of the country where it operated, the studies in this
volume find that because of its ideological nature, communism had a
consistent penchant for totalitarianism in all of its
manifestations. This book is also concerned with the future. As the
world witnesses a new wave of ideological authoritarianism and
collectivistic projects, the authors of the nineteen essays suggest
lessons from their analyses of communism's past to help better
resist totalitarian projects in the future.
