Politics, State, Communism - Alvaro Garcia Linera - Bog

Edited by Agon Hamza and Frank Ruda, "Politics, State, Communism" brings together a series of speeches
written by Álvaro García Linera in a unique political conjuncture: some
date back to when he was serving as vice president of Bolivia, others to
the period immediately after the coup d'état of November 2019. These
writings cover a wide range of political subjects: social movements and
forms of autonomy in Bolivia; democracy and its function in late
capitalism; the discrepancy between national and capitalist spaces; the
Russian October Revolution as an event, and its resonances in other
parts of the world; the concept and function of the state; and, finally,
the idea of communism in its relation to necessity and contingency.
