摘　　要：In his 2016 essay“An American Utopia,”Fredric Jameson appropriates Lenin’s concept of“dual power”to ruminate on its potential meaning in the present U.S.context.Jameson’s remarks on“dual power”and U.S.politics offer a starting point to explore both the most recent developments in the U.S.and to revisit Lenin’s State and Revolution fruitfully to review the concept of“the commune”as a post-capitalist political theory.Lenin’s work transcends anodyne demands for abstract democracy.Indeed,my intervention aims to explore the limits of“democracy”in U.S.political discourse,demanding a reconsideration of Leninist political theory.In so doing,the conditions of struggle in the U.S.potentialize the dialectical development of struggles to extend democracy(reform)with struggles to overcome democracy(revolution).
