From Lenin to “Lean In”

“Comrades!…This has been proved by the history of all revolutions. And revolutionaries would be committing an immeasurable crime if they let this moment pass, knowing that upon them all, depends the saving of the revolution…The government is tottering. It must be given the final push at all costs.” Lenin 1917

The philosophy that drove Lenin (Marxist ‘self-creation’) — and  produced a catastrophe in Russia, is now at work in the U.S. backed rebel groups in Syria, as well a Sheryl Sandberg’s book “Lean In.”

Revolutionary movements that break with nature rather than working within it, get bad outcomes. The American Civil Rights Movement, led by Martin Luther King, acted within nature to produced positive change.
