GRACIA LANDAETA, Oscar. Marx and the October Revolution: A vision on soviet totalitarianism from the perspective of Hannah Arendt. Rev Cien Cult [online]. 2017, vol.21, n.38, pp.9-29. ISSN 2077-3323.

The article establishes an analysis that connects the meaning of Marxism in the occidental tradition of political thinking with the catastrophic novelty of the soviet totalitarian regime. The base of this connection is given by an interpretation of the decisive historical trends of the Russian Revolution. The theoretical framework for this appreciation is sustained both on the Arendt’s theory of the “totalitarian elements of Marxism” and the general comprehension of the author on the essential dynamics of totalitarianism. The general idea of the essay is that a reading of the Revolutionary, Leninist and Stalinist moments, in the tone of a single radicalization of Marxist ideology, is possible.
