This episode is part two of our three-part series on Charles Bettleheim's Class Struggles in the USSR, First Period: 1917-1923. Check out the summary of each section of this book on our Mass Struggle patreon for free.
Part Two discusses the development and movement of the contradictions between the party and the peasantry and the party and the proletariat through through the civil war and imperialist intervention. Next, we look at transitions within the party and between the party and administrative state apparatus. Finally, we reflect upon the party's and proletariat's principle task during this particular period and some of the challenges they faced.
You can find the pdf here, but this is one of the only volumes you can still find in paperback.
