Lenin the Liberal?
Added 2021-08-11 16:21:41 +0000 UTCIn this episode we examine the claim made by the American academic Chris Cutrone that Lenin was in fact pursuing a liberal project in carrying out the October Revolution. We look into this claim, the influence that the work of Theodor Adorno has on Cutrone's work and the influence of the Frankfurt School more generally.
