The Guillotine at Work, Maximof A6

Description

This is from one of Maximoff’s best remembered works in which he analysis the consequences of the Bolshevik seizure of power in the October Revolution. Quoting from Lenin’s pamphlet The Threatening Catastrophe and How to Fight It (Sept 1917), he argues that Lenin is indeed the “first theoretician of fascism”. However when the actions of the working class in seizing control of both industrial and commercial enterprises make such a course of action, Maximoff argues that Lenin then calls for the establishment of state capitalism, with other elements of fascism being added from time to time. He bases this argument on his reading of The Next Tasks of the Soviet Power.
