Document Summary
Week 6 - perry anderson - two revolutions. If the 20th c was shaped by the russian revolution teh21th will be shaped more than by any other single event by the outcome of the chinese revolution. Ussr > emerging led no claim to patriotic pride - international appeal to the solidarity of the labour mvmnt: had to move away form the agrarian society. In russia the civil war came after the revolution - in china the revolution followed the civil war (redemption from it) Differing matrices meant that the proportions of force and consent were always different: ussr utilised the episodes of popular support when they arose (rested on repression. The backyard to each of these revolutions was the failure of a preceding attempt at reconstruction. Huge difference in the character of their political leadership. Russia > tsarism had left a messier streak - under stalin during ww2 return to more traditional great russian stamp: soviet plunge toward de-industrialisation.
