April
1917: Lenin returns from exile and arrives in Petrograd via a sealed train and publishes the April thesis.

1) The class-conscious proletariat can give its consent to a revolutionary war, which would really justify revolutionary defeatism, only on condition: (a) that the power pass to the proletariat and the poorest sections of the peasants aligned with the proletariat; (b) that all annexations be renounced in deed and not in word; (c) that a complete break be effected in actual fact with all capitalist interests. Fraternisation.

2) The specific feature of the present situation is passing from the first stage of frustration, owing to our unreasoning trust in the government of capitalists, those worst enemies of peace and socialism to the stage of doing something about it like realizing the potential of what we could have together if we all had access to the means of production and were able to share their benefits.

3) No support for the social democrats; the utter falsity of all its promises should be made clear, particularly of those relating to the renunciation of revolution. Exposure in place of the impermissible, illusion-breeding “demand” that this government, a government of capitalists, should cease to be an imperialist government.

5) Not a parliamentary republic—to return to a parliamentary republic from the Soviets of Workers’ Deputies would be a retrograde step—but instead an open source universal justice equally distributed. Abolition of the police, the army, bureaucrats, wages, private property, the state, gender, race, classes, prisons, mental hospitals, and nurseries.

6) Socialisation of all lands in this world for the benefit of everybody.

7) The immediate destitution of all bankers and the the placing of existing banks into the Bank of the Commons. Change existing currencies into Faircoin until we abolish money as the universal equivalent and we bring about universal equality.

8) It is our immediate task to “introduce” communism, and to bring social production and the distribution of products at once under the control of the “universal commune”.

9) Party tasks:
(a) Immediate dance convocation;
(b) Alteration of ourselves, mainly:
(1) On the question of imperialism and the imperialist wars,
(2) On our attitude towards the state and our demand for a “universal commune”
(3) Amendment of our out-of-date minimum programme;
(c) Change of the Party

10. A new International. We must take the initiative in creating a revolutionary International, an International against the social-chauvinists and against the “Centre”. I quote the words of Rosa Luxemburg, who on August 4, 1914, called German Social-Democracy a “stinking corpse”.

2017: documenta opens for the first time in Athens with the title “Learning From Athens,” in order to enable productive, educational dialogue about various forms of injustice and inequality, incorporating these concerns into its very form by sharing its contents between sites in Germany and Greece.
It gets harsh criticism.
