This course reviews and develops the basic Marxist discourse of the revolutionary transition from capitalist society to communist society according to Marx, Lenin, Stalin and Mao Tse-Tung. In doing so, we learn key problems and concepts in the Marxist discourse of transition and revolution, e.g., the dictatorship of the proletariat, the 'withering away of the state,' and 'planning,' all problems that have animated the modern history of East Asia from the late 19th century into the 20th and early 21st centuries. In the second half of the course, we study contemporary discourses on revolution and transition from three perspectives: Uno Kozo's theory of capitalist crisis (or economic crisis); theories of feminist Marxism and anti-racism; and Foucault's theory of the subject. The goal of the course is to reconstruct the Marxist theory of revolution and transition in light of today's multiple crises of capitalism.
