What is to be done? This was the question asked by Lenin in 1901 when
he was having doubts about the revolutionary capabilities of the
Russian working class. 77 years later, Louis Althusser asked the same
question. Faced with the tidal wave of May ‘68 and the recurrent
hostility of the Communist Party towards the protests, he wanted to
offer readers a succinct guide for the revolution to come. Lively,
brilliant and engaged, this short text is wholly oriented towards one
objective: to organise the working class struggle. Althusser provides
a sharp critique of Antonio Gramsci’s writings and of Eurocommunism,
which seduced various Marxists at the time. But this book is above all
the opportunity for Althusser to state what he had not succeeded in
articulating elsewhere: what concrete conditions would need to be
satisfied before the revolution could take place. Left unfinished, it
is published here in English for the first time.
