| Sumari: | What connects the two texts separated from each other by nearly four hundred years – Machiavelli’s The Prince and Lenin’s What is to be Done? The first is a compendium of formulations on what a Prince should be, the pitfalls on the path of his success, how to rule, clues to his power, and what is necessary to activate the people towards contributing to the glory of a princedom. The second written in the Russian revolutionary age discusses how to build a revolutionary party, how to unite an ideology and a class, and how a political party can become a tribune of the people. The contexts are different, situations vastly dissimilar. Yet, there is a strange connection between the two. Both carry the enigmatic quality of being timeless while being entirely focused on the problems of the time. Both resonate with concerns that share similar grounds. Both evoke themes that play upon the great question of contingency and uncertainty. They seem to carry no lineage. As if, they came out of void. |
