Whereas Kelsen’s General Theory of Law and State is a work for the ages, this book became outdated in a decade. Written in 1945, the book examines the writings of Lenin, Stalin, Marx and Engels to discover what they say about things like the state, socialism, capitalism and democracy. The subtitle ”a critical analysis” is partly warranted since Kelsen certainly sees through the egalitarian facade that Soviet dictators erected, but this book isn’t nearly as critical of communist political theory as it would have been if written a few decades later. Tragic historical events eventually exposed communist ideology for the sham it was, so there’s not much point today in studying this early attempt at theoretical refutation. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
THE CONTRADICTORY NATURE OF COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT. Written during a tense period of the Cold War, this study observed that Bolshevism was a system that embraces anarchism in theory and totalitarianism in practice. In order to survive the Bolshevist state must obliterate the potentially destabilizing forces inherent in democracy through a party dictatorship that is presented as the political self-determination of a free people. "A deep-cutting analysis of some of the fundamental contradictions in Communist theory and practice, particularly in regard to democracy and the dictatorial function of the state." --Foreign Affairs 27 (1948-49) 679 Possibly the most influential jurisprudent of the twentieth century, Hans Kelsen 1881-1973] was legal adviser to Austria's last emperor and its first republican government, the founder and permanent advisor of the Supreme Constitutional Court of Austria and the author of Austria's Constitution, which was enacted in 1920, abolished during the Anschluss and restored in 1945.
