The present book brings together a series of interventions concerning pressing political, ideological and organizational issues of the world, edited by Agon Hamza and Frank Ruda.

Politics, State, Communism brings together a series of interventions written by ?lvaro Garc?a Linera in a unique political conjuncture: some date back to when he was serving as vice president of Bolivia, others to the period immediately after the coup d'?tat of November 2019. These writings cover a wide range of political subjects: social movements and forms of autonomy in Bolivia; democracy and its function in late capitalism; the discrepancy between national and capitalist spaces; the Russian October Revolution as an event, and its resonances in other parts of the world; the concept and function of the state; and, finally, the idea of communism in its relation to necessity and contingency.
