"An Earth-man's journey to the planet Mars, where he is treated to a wondrous vision of a communist future, complete with flying cars and 3D color movies." --Wonders & Marvels   A communist society on Mars, the Russian revolution, and class struggle on two planets is the subject of this arresting science fiction novel by Alexander Bogdanov (1873-1928), one of the early organizers and prophets of the Russian Bolshevik party. The red star is Mars, but it is also the dream set to paper of the society that could emerge on earth after the dual victory of the socialist and scientific-technical revolutions. While portraying a harmonious and rational socialist society, Bogdanov sketches out the problems that will face industrialized nations, whether socialist or capitalist.   "[A] surprisingly moving story." --The New Yorker   "The contemporary reader will marvel at [Bogdanov's] foresight: nuclear fusion and propulsion, atomic weaponry and fallout, computers, blood transfusions, and (almost) unisexuality." --Choice   "Bogdanov's novels reveal a great deal about their fascinating author, about his time and, ironically, ours, and about the genre of utopia as well as his contribution to it." --Slavic Review… (lisätietoja)

    Me (tekijä: Yevgeny Zamyatin) (leigonj)
    leigonj: As Red Star (1908) is pro-communist Russian science fiction, We (1920) is anti-communist Russian science fiction. They are equally superb.

    leigonj: Both are science fiction written in 1908, inspired by the events of the 1905 Russian Revolution. Both are born of the writings of Marx and Engels.

Estrela Vermelha é um livro em que o protagonista, alter ego de Bogdánov, tem um delírio profético no qual ele vê a futura relação do ocidente com o oriente médio sob a perspectiva de um árabe. No caso, é evidente que a Terra é o Oriente Médio, que os Marcianos, i.e. estadunidenses, tecnologicamente mais avançados e politicamente mais estáveis, desejam explorar em busca de combustível para seus meios de transporte. Pois para os americanos marcianos de Estrela Vermelha, um decrescimento econômico e necessidade de controle populacional são respectivamente a pior e segunda pior coisa que se pode fazer.

Eles tentarão primeiro ir para as terras selvagens da América Latina de Vênus, onde a matéria prima ainda está intocada. O fracasso inevitável os fará se virar para a conturbada Terra.

Pois Marte é vasto, homogêneo, contínuo de mar a mar, monoglota, sexualmente liberal, tecnocrata em último nível e está destruindo rapidamente seu ecosistema. Já a Terra é imersa em brigas internas de diferentes povos e facções de línguas e costumes distintos em constante guerra entre si, mas, em seu retrocesso, ainda não tocaram nas preciosas jazidas de combustível. Os marcianos apenas não a tomaram ainda por conta da inevitável guerra de guerrilhas e crescente radicalismo que se sucederá. Dum modo ou de outro, a guerra será justa, pois o sistema deles é claramente superior, e na média final, é preferível 1 bilhão de marcianos felizes do que 1 bilhão de terráqueos oprimidos e oprimindo.

Bem, Leonid, como bom imigrante em Marte, não consegue se adaptar à população local, condescendente com o terráqueo e seus jeitos primitivos, e comete um ato terrorista, sendo deportado de volta a seu lugar de origem. Devemos, é claro, ler o comunismo de Leonid como uma alegoria ao jihadismo (ele, afinal, sonhavam ter múltiplas esposas).



Eu estava prestes a reconsiderar o título de utopia a Marte de Bogdánov, mas aí eu lembrei que eles tem um estoque aparentemente infinito de tomboy gfs e reconheci que a denominação é correta. ( )

Várias questões controversas nesta utopia escrita entre as duas grandes revoluções russas (1905 e 1917).
A questão ambiental (homem x natureza) e um certo positivismo progressista ainda refletem o pensamento do século XIX, o que torna a utopia de Bogdánov datada nesses aspectos, quando, no Século XXI os setores mais avançados se preocupam com o bem viver e a preservação da natureza - contra o capitalismo.
Porém, a libertação do jugo machista é um ponto alto (páginas 137 e 138).
Outro aspecto fantástico e que o autor prevê a ruína do socialismo isolado num único país página 149. ( )

Red Star is from 1908. With good reason, I first heard of Bogdanov in Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars. Alexander was an “Old Bolshevik”, friend of Lenin and Trotsky, Victor Serge and many other early revolutionaries. This novella tells of a utopian civilization on Mars after a revolution. As an article of science fiction, it has some pretty accurate predictions and the influence is clearly felt in other early utopian SF and the works of Ursula K LeGUin. As a novel, it was slow, but as a creative product of historical ideology: 5 stars. The ideas in here read like pamphlet from the era and it was very exciting to connect the dots and read this in light of Serge’s book as where it perfectly falls in line with that year it was written/published. Matching this in other media, I watched the 1929 silent Soviet SF film, Aelita. Another Mars utopia. It got right a few things: 1) cutting edge Futurist architecture and Constructivist sets, 2) the message of solidary extending beyond borders/ beyond planets, 3) a woman leader. It misses the milestone of true visual revolutionary art with too many lengthy scenes of the bloody bourgeois having diner parties! Consider this film next to Lang’s Metropolis that came out three years later. ( )

Alexander Bogdanov was an original member of the Bolshevik Party who wrote two science fiction novels - 'Red Star' (1908), and 'Engineer Menni' (1913) - to empart his ideas and stimulate revolutionary feeling in his audience. Red Star: The First Bolshevik Utopia includes them both.

Red Star is the story of Leonid, a member of the Bolshevik Party during the still intense period following the 1905 revolution, who is approached by another revolutionary, Menni, who claims to be from some advanced secret society and offers him a place within it if he will take part in a mission to Mars. Leonid agrees and is taken by Menni to his ship where Menni and his crew reveal they are, in fact, Martians. Leonid's mission, he is told, is to serve as a link between the two human races of Earth and Mars. On Mars Leonid discovers a communist utopia: an advanced, peaceful society of perfect equality, unity and freedom - one which however forecasts economic difficulties in the future, which have added the weight of need to the wish to befriend those of Earth.

Engineer Menni is the story (told briefly by Menni to Leonid in Red Star) of the great engineer Menni, the man in Red Star's past who oversaw the construction of Mars's canals in order to make vast swathes of previously arid desert habitable. This is the story of a man of genius driven to complete his epic Project, and the setbacks as he contends with corrupt capitalists taking their opportunity to profit at the expense of the proletariat doing the work, and the global Republic funding the Project. Menni's murdering of his assistant - who is allied with the capitalists - leads to his imprisonment and the disintergration of the Project in his absense, until Netti, a young and influential socialist, brings about his return.

I highly recommend this book: both stories are more than worth reading and should be better known. Engineer Menni I particularly enjoyed, having a brilliant political storyline and being well written as well as full of ideas (communist, and more generally political, and even on the philsophy of pragmatism).
