Re: [Marxism] What did Lenin learn from Hegel?

You will find a pretty comprehensive answer in Kevin Anderson's
"Lenin, Hegel, and Western Marxism" (U of Illinois Press, 1995).

Subject: [Marxism] What did Lenin learn from Hegel?

It's my understanding that in the early years of the 20th century
Lenin invested time and effort into reading Hegel and was deeply
influenced.

Now, I had always thought that Marx had "corrected" Hegel (stood
Hegel
on his head), and all that was important in Hegel was, therefore,
already in Marx.
I tried reading Hegel a couple of years ago and found it hard
going
and not very useful, it seemed to me, for political purposes....

So, my question is: why did Lenin turn to Hegel? And what (if
anything) did he find in Hegel that he didn't find in Marx?

Thanks,

RC
