LTStraipsnio tikslas yra aptarti kairiojo sąmoningumo raidą Tarybų Sąjungoje, sovietinėje ir posovietinėje Lietuvoje. Straipsnyje pateikiama kairiojo ir dešiniojo politinio spektro analizė, funkcinio bei biurokratinio požiūrio kritika. Analizuojami V. Lenino samprotavimai apie radikaliojo kairumo ydas, aiškinamos G. Lukacso klasinės sąmonės ir sąmoningumo sudaiktinimo teorijos, nagrinėjamos klasinės sąmonės transformacijos, ypač spektaklio visuomenės laikotarpiu, aptariama kairumo sąsaja su socialinės inžinerijos projektais. Taip pat remiantis V. Kapsuko ir šiuolaikinės Naujosios kairės tekstais kritiškai aiškinama kairumo ir tautiškumo santykio problema, susiję klasinės ir tautinės sąmonės konfliktai ir, kaip išvada, diskutuojama atviros įvairovei sąmonės idėja.

ENTransformation of party Leftism or institutional Leftism into spectacle Leftism was completely logical. Political parties needed to prove their legitimacy, and they needed a special type of propaganda for the creation of a society of the spectacle using different techniques of social engineering. Guy Debord showed that no essential or qualitative differences existed between the spectacle society in the West and that in the East during the period of the Cold War. The differences were only quantitative: the better spectacle is the more attractive one, which better serves the purposes of mass mobilization and social projects. However, the Soviet power created a long-time illusion about the correspondence between demonstrative Leftism and social engineering. Their mythology was the only one "live" product of the Soviet Left. The Lithuanian Bolsheviks and the Communist party hadn't any differences between them and without any creativity followed this party-apparatus policy or the spectacle society and social engineering policy. These examples of Lithuanian Left history are considered from a comparative international viewpoint, including the ideas of Lenin, of Lithuanian Communist leaders Vincas Kapsukas and Antanas Sniečkus, and of the Yugoslav Communist party leader Broz Tito. Multiplicity consciousness and advocacy of multiplicity could be characteristics of the New Left.This grew out of the works of Herbert Marcuse, Angela Davis, the whole Frankfurt School, many of Frances Left-wing philosophers, philosophers related to the Black Panthers movement (Cornel West etc.), Left libertarians or various contemporary Anarchists. Many of them try to develop similar ideas. Multiplicity consciousness is contradictory, creative, nonlinear, communicative; and in its continuous self-othering and searching has highly developed critique skills and shows a high degree of social participation. The article considers development of multiplicity consciousness in Lithuania in the period between the two world wars and in our days. A number of contemporary Left thinkers express similar ideas: Nida Vasiliauskaitė, Andrius Bielskis, Aušra Požeraitė, Kasparas Pocius, Audronė Žukauskaitė, Vytautas Rubavičius, the New Left 95 Movement, Lithuanian Anarchists, and others.
