Description
Summary:This essay discusses the inseparability between education and politics proposed in Lenin's work. It recovers the context and the construction of russian socialism as an expression of concrete proposals for the emancipation of the entire exploited proletariat through the reproductive forms of capital expressed in the capitalist mode of production. In this sense, education is a political tool with an educational dimension. We elaborate our reflections in two periods. The first of them is related to the texts inherent to the Pre-Revolution of October 1917, a period in which Lenin defined the thesis to which the communists would constitute the vanguard of the proletariat, assuming both the organizational and formative function of the class. The second focused on Lenin as the leader of a proletarian state, highlighting the centrality of the unity between education and politics. Finally, we aim to demonstrate the vitality and legacy of revolutionary political thought.
