Marx y la Revolución de Octubre: una visión del totalitarismo soviético a partir de Arendt
Abstract
El artículo realiza una reflexión que conecta el significado del marxismo dentro de la tradición del pensamiento político occidental con la catastrófica novedad del régimen totalitario soviético. El punto de apoyo de esta conexión se da a partir de una lectura de las tendencias decisivas de la Revolución Rusa. El marco teórico para tal apreciación viene establecido tanto por la visión arendtiana de los "elementos totalitarios del marxismo" como por su particular postura ante las dinámicas propias del totalitarismo. La idea general del texto es que es posible una lectura del momento revolucionario, el momento leninista y el momento estalinista del proceso ruso sobre el trasfondo general de la radicalización ideológica marxista.
The article establishes an analysis that connects the meaning of Marxism in the occidental tradition of political thinking with the catastrophic novelty of the soviet totalitarian regime. The base of this connection is given by an interpretation of the decisive historical trends of the Russian Revolution. The theoretical framework for this appreciation is sustained both on the Arendt's theory of the "totalitarian elements of Marxism" and the general comprehension of the author on the essential dynamics of totalitarianism. The general idea of the essay is that a reading of the Revolutionary, Leninist and Stalinist moments, in the tone of a single radicalization of Marxist ideology, is possible.
