A renewed engagement with Lenin's revolutionary politics and a persuasive case for his contemporary relevance.
Factory of Strategy is the last of Antonio Negri¿s major political works to be translated into English. Rigorous and accessible, it is both a systematic inquiry into the development of Lenin¿s thought and an encapsulation of a critical shift in Negri¿s theoretical trajectory. Negri champions Leninism¿s ability to adapt to different working-class compositions in Russia, China, Latin America, and elsewhere. He argues that Lenin developed a new political figure in and beyond modernity and an effective organization capable of absorbing different historical conditions. Negri ultimately urges readers to recognize the universal application of Leninism today and its potential to institutionally¿not anarchically¿dismantle centralized power.
