| 520 | 8 | _a16 states came to be ruled by communist parties during the 20th century. Only five of them remain in power today. This book explores the nature of communist regimes - what they share in common, how they differ from each other, & how they evolved over over time. The book finds that these regimes all came to power in the context of warfare or its aftermath, followed by the consolidation of power by a revolutionary elite that came to value 'revolutionary violence' as the preferred means to an end, based upon Marx's vision of apocalyptic revolution & Lenin's conception of party organization. All these regimes went on to 'build socialism' according to a Stalinist template, & were initially dedicated to 'anti-imperialist struggle' as members of a 'world communist movement.' But their common features gave way to diversity, difference, & defiance after the death of Joseph Stalin in 1953. | |
