“This collection of essays is recommended, not just because of the quality of the various contributions, but above all because Lenin’s philosophical interventions have been largely neglected and ignored since Althusser.”—Liam O’Ruairc, Radical Philosophy

“[B]y reaffirming the importance of revolution the editors and contributors make a vital point: without this concept we lose the possibility of conceiving of transformative social practices and the construction of a more humane ethic.”—Benjamin Franks, Variant

“The mixture of voices makes for a stimulating anthology. . . .”—Scott McLemee, Bookforum

“[Lenin Reloaded] will surely be of relevance for those socialists who wish to link our struggles within capitalism to the goals of the broader movement against capitalism. For this reason, the editors of Lenin Reloaded are to be congratulated, and every reader of this journal should consider buying and reading it. . . .”—Paul Blackledge, Capital and Class

“Lenin Reloaded presents a remarkable set of essays by an impressive set of twenty-first-century intellectuals . . . The rich, diverse contributions offered in this book—in some cases jostling aggressively against each other . . . is a challenge for all serious intellectuals and activists of our time.”—Paul Le Blanc, WorkingUSA
