- Title
Octubre, imperialismo y la revolución mundial de los otros.
- Authors
Fernández Ortiz, Antonio
- Abstract
This article touches upon the October Revolution viewing it as a revolution of a new type which originated from the evolution of Capitalism in its imperialist phase according to the Lenin's theoretical contributions and from the Russian revolution as a long-term process in which the penetration of Capitalism, the search for a way of modernisation and the needs of social justice get mingled through the prism of the Russian culture. The clear understanding of the determinate role of the peasantry as a "revolutionary" class made possible a social revolution in a country which practically had no working class. This mainly anticapitalistic and anti-imperialist revolution prevented Russia from turning into a depending and peripheral country of Capitalism. This model of a revolution and this way to Socialism and social justice had a great influence on the entire world, causing a process of decolonisation and national liberation of the countries of the capitalist periphery during the whole 20th century. At the same time, becoming a model prone to be imitated, Russia, already in the form of the Soviet Union, turned into the enemy of Capitalism and into the objective which should be destroyed.
