The book provides an overview of the social ideas aimed at liberating the proletariat and abolishing prehistory. Marx's messianic view of the rise to power of the proletariat and the journey from necessity to freedom soon led to the Leninist doctrine of a new type of party that would fulfill this mission.

In the conditions of Russia, the party replaced the class and power became an end in itself. Lenin was the founder of the new totalitarianism, while Stalin exterminated his internal "opponents," abolishing ideology. The Lenin-Stalin model was imposed on the global communist movement, leading the means, the power, to abolish the end, the social liberation.

Over decades, power "forgot" its ideological mandate and embraced apologetics to become a hollow propaganda. In Greece, the attempt at party imposition, with Zachariadis, from 1931 to 1956, led to tragic consequences, with the 1940-50 decade leaving a heavy legacy on society. The heteronomous party power, without strategy, led and reinforced the deadlocks.

SYRIZA is the latest symptom of political opportunism, where the end of power is expressed in an extremely ridiculous way, with double speak, externally as consensus, internally as "resistance." Once again, power attempts to manipulate the people, but now acts out of place and time. The need to strengthen democratic institutions and the creative presence of the citizen is the demand of the times.

With Lenin, in 1917, all the achievements of bourgeois revolutions, such as the formal equality of citizens before the law, the separation of powers, the freedoms of speech, assembly, press, unions, and parties, were abolished because they were bourgeois, to be replaced and eliminated by the dictatorship of the proletariat, which was the power of the party machinery. Freedom was abolished because it was a source of reactionary intentions, to impose the singular truth and the freedom of the party leader.
