| Summary: | Claude Lefort's work examines the enduring significance of communism in contemporary society, despite its historical failures. Through a critical analysis of the Soviet system and its ideological underpinnings, Lefort seeks to illuminate the complexities of political societies. Drawing on the works of historians like François Furet and Martin Malia, the book explores themes such as Marxism, the legacy of the Russian Revolution, and the dynamics of totalitarian regimes. Lefort critiques the concept of communism as an 'illusion' and investigates its impact on modern political thought. The intended audience includes scholars and readers interested in political theory, history, and the philosophical implications of communism.
