Lenin in England
Nate:
Notes on ch4, the portion that’s been translated. This chapter, Lenin In England, has been translated. I believe it first appeared in English in the Red Notes collection Working Class Autonomy And The Crisis, but I’m not sure. Red Notes and the circulation of translated materials from Italy in the 60s and 70s is a whole other topic worth researching. In any case, the essay was published in 1964 for the first issue of Classe Operaia. I’d like to get some background on these different newspapers/journals and the social/political context at the time, generally and in movements of the day. The piece is brilliant, and some of the more famous things Tronti’s said appear in it. It also opens the second section of the book, A Political Experiment Of A New Type.
