DESCRIPTION:October and "What Happens After?"\n\nOctober by science fiction writer, 
 China Mieville, tells the story of the 1917 Russian Revolution from 
 February to October, calling those earthshaking events "still ground zero 
 for arguments about fundamental radical social change. Its degradation was 
 not a given, was not written in any stars." \n\nA new (2017) collection of 
 writings of Raya Dunayevskaya, Russia: From Proletarian Revolution to 
 State-Capitalist Counter-Revolution, highlights the intimate connection 
 between Lenin's philosophic reorganization and 1917's new page of 
 self-determination opened by workers and peasants. Lenin's reorganization 
 came as a result of studying Hegel's Logic when established Marxism 
 collapsed at the outbreak of WWI. \n\nEven though Lenin's reorganization 
 was crucial in setting the course of the first successful proletarian 
 revolution, Dunayevskaya confronts the problem of our age, namely, the 
 counterrevolutionary transformation of Russia into a totalitarian 
 state-capitalist monstrosity. The point is not to re-live the past, but to 
 see what can we learn from it. What do we learn from 1917 for today?\n
