'''Leninism,''' also known as '''Orthodox Leninism''' or '''Bolshevism''', is an authoritarian, economically far-left socialist and communist ideology based on the beliefs of [[File:Cball-Russia.png]] Russian revolutionary and first leader of the Soviet Union [[File:Lenin.png]] Vladimir Lenin. He believes in the establishment of a Dictatorship of the Proletariat led by a Revolutionary Vanguard Party. He wants the full abolishment of private property and is in favor of socialist publicly owned property.


==History==
Orthodox Leninism
The Russian Revolution was a revolution that formed the first Marxist state by eliminating Tsar Nicholas II in 1917. Before the revolution, Russia was in a complicated situation, high social inequalities, lack of freedom, absolutism, extreme poverty, illiteracy, remnants of feudalism, backwardness compared to other countries, exhausting work with several hours and among countless other problems. One of the first oppositions emerged with the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP) of a Marxist and democratic socialist nature founded by Vladimir Lenin but ended up being considered illegal by the Empire, in which Lenin ended up fleeing to other European countries. Subsequently, the party split into two wings, the more radical Bolsheviks (Russian "Majority") and the more moderate Mensheviks (Russian "Minority").


The empire was already losing popularity among the people, in which there were protests in 1905 in Saint Petersburg, but it was violently repressed with the imperial guard shooting and killing hundreds, in what became known as Bloody Sunday. After the massacre, the people were furious against the tsar, culminating in the revolution of 1905, causing the tsar to create the Duma (parliament) as a way to alleviate the situation, allowing parties. Many historians claim that the revolution of 1905 was a "rehearsal" for that of 1917. In 1907, some revolutionaries were arrested or had to flee (like Lenin, again). way to calm the protests and increase patriotism against an outside enemy, but it was a disaster due to the high number of casualties and the death of 1,600,000-1,800,000 soldiers, destroying what was left of Russia (economy, infrastructure, quality of life, etc was completely destroyed), causing the tsar himself to command the army in 1915 leaving his wife to rule the country, in which they accused her of treason for being German and also of the Romanov family being influenced by [[File:Rasputin.png]] [[Orthodox Theocracy|Grigori Rasputin]], being assassinated in 1916. numerous protests, rebellions, and increased tensions, in which there was a demonstration in 1917, in which the guard was called to repress, but ended up allying with the protesters, which in March of the same year took place the Revolution of February (calendar difference), overthrowing the Tzar and the monarchs. A provisional government formed by the Duma and led by Alexander Kerensky was formed, in addition to the influence of the Petrograd Soviet (dual power). Kerensky's provisional government ended up granting amnesty to political prisoners and establishing democracy with a secret vote, but continued into World War I, in which at the behest of the German government to destabilize Russia, Lenin returned to Russia, promising "Peace, Land and Bread". ", that in October of the same year, there was the October Revolution, overthrowing the provisional government and Lenin taking power. The Bolsheviks became the communist party and took measures in this direction, in addition to exiting the First World War, which, even losing the elections, remained in power and repressed opponents (turning into a dictatorship).
Vanguardism|quadrant(s) = [[File: Authleft.png]] [[:Category:Authoritarian Left|Authleft]]


Several opponents of Lenin, some ex-Mensheviks, pro-church and pro-empire formed the white army, while the communists formed the red army led by Leon Trotsky. The white army took most of the country (Siberia), but the whites had several internal divergences, the red army took the smallest part (the European part), but the was "better part", in which it had more industries, population, a better climate, etc. and it had few internal divergences. There were also Greens who were against everyone and wanted centrism and Blacks who were anarchists, who took Ukraine but later supported the Reds. There was also the execution of the Romanov family. Both sides committed massacres and atrocities, known as White Terror and Red Terror. There was the consolidation of the USSR, there were the so-called revolutionary courts that tried, arrested, or executed the "counter-revolutionaried".
[[File: Ormarxf.png]] [[:Category: Communists|Communists]]


After the civil war, Soviet Russia merged with other Soviet states, including the Ukraine SSR, and formed the [[File:Cball-USSR.png]] [[Federalism|Soviet Union]]. The brutal civil war severely devastated the Russian economy and caused the [[w:Russian famine of 1921–1922|The Great Russian Famine]]. Lenin saw the flaws of War Communism and realized that socialism could not be built in such a short time frame. He, therefore, enacted the [[File:NEP.png]] [[w:New Economic Policy|New Economic Policy]], which he described as “[[File:Statecap.png]] [[State Capitalism]]”. The NEP allowed small and medium enterprises to operate and allowed the existence of private property. This economic policy oversaw the restoration of pre-war production and sustained economic growth.
[[File: Soc.png]] [[:Category: Socialists|Socialists]]


After the revolution, communism began to take influence, parties and movements in Europe, bringing the first red fear, eventually electing fascist and anti-communist leaders later. There are currently several debates and controversies regarding the Russian Revolution, with some extolling Lenin as a liberator of the oppressed from capitalism, others as a genocidal dictator who led the Russian people to misery and others considering him as a state capitalist because of the NEP.

===Vanguardism===
Lenin talks about the structure of a Vanguard in ''What is to Be Done''<ref>https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1901/witbd/</ref>. The Vanguard is a structure to be taken by a social class (in this case, the Proletariat), in order to exert political power and force against the former oppressive class/classes (in this case, the Aristocracy and Bourgeoisie). This form of organization involves the most revolutionary minds of the class form organizations known as the revolutionary Vanguard, to gather in the great portion of the working class in a unified political movement. This organization serves the function of:


1) Organizing the Proletariat, by educating the masses and instilling revolutionary class consciousness in them.
[[File: LeftCom.png]] [[Left Communismball]] (Son)


2) Defending Marxism against reactionary forces and hostile political systems present, by a revolutionary organisation lead by the most class-conscious of the workers for organizational unity and coherence.
[[File: Biolen.png]] [[Biological Leninismball]] (Son)


3) Via the process of Democratic Centralism, organize the party through professional revolutionaries so that the Vanguard can both defend itself from other classes and organize and coordinate the workers for the Revolutionary takeover of power.
[[File: Stalin.png]] [[Stalinismball]] (Grandson)


He argued this form of organization was necessary because of the observation of the working class in Western Europe not developing revolutionary class consciousness in mass and explained this phenomenon based on the division of labor and long working hours of workers causing this to happen. Nevertheless, Lenin believed that the working class could be organized into a revolutionary force, and the necessary tool for this was an organization that could draw in the masses toward a unified and coherent struggle.

Revision as of 06:14, 16 May 2024

"It is true that liberty is precious — so precious that it must be rationed."

Leninism, also known as Orthodox Leninism or Bolshevism, is an authoritarian, economically far-left socialist and communist ideology based on the beliefs of Russian revolutionary and first leader of the Soviet Union Vladimir Lenin. He believes in the establishment of a Dictatorship of the Proletariat led by a Revolutionary Vanguard Party. He wants the full abolishment of private property and is in favor of socialist publicly owned property.

History

The Russian Revolution was a revolution that formed the first Marxist state by eliminating Tsar Nicholas II in 1917. Before the revolution, Russia was in a complicated situation, high social inequalities, lack of freedom, absolutism, extreme poverty, illiteracy, remnants of feudalism, backwardness compared to other countries, exhausting work with several hours and among countless other problems. One of the first oppositions emerged with the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP) of a Marxist and democratic socialist nature founded by Vladimir Lenin but ended up being considered illegal by the Empire, in which Lenin ended up fleeing to other European countries. Subsequently, the party split into two wings, the more radical Bolsheviks (Russian "Majority") and the more moderate Mensheviks (Russian "Minority").

The empire was already losing popularity among the people, in which there were protests in 1905 in Saint Petersburg, but it was violently repressed with the imperial guard shooting and killing hundreds, in what became known as Bloody Sunday. After the massacre, the people were furious against the tsar, culminating in the revolution of 1905, causing the tsar to create the Duma (parliament) as a way to alleviate the situation, allowing parties. Many historians claim that the revolution of 1905 was a "rehearsal" for that of 1917. In 1907, some revolutionaries were arrested or had to flee (like Lenin, again). way to calm the protests and increase patriotism against an outside enemy, but it was a disaster due to the high number of casualties and the death of 1,600,000-1,800,000 soldiers, destroying what was left of Russia (economy, infrastructure, quality of life, etc was completely destroyed), causing the tsar himself to command the army in 1915 leaving his wife to rule the country, in which they accused her of treason for being German and also of the Romanov family being influenced by Grigori Rasputin, being assassinated in 1916. numerous protests, rebellions, and increased tensions, in which there was a demonstration in 1917, in which the guard was called to repress, but ended up allying with the protesters, which in March of the same year took place the Revolution of February (calendar difference), overthrowing the Tzar and the monarchs. A provisional government formed by the Duma and led by Alexander Kerensky was formed, in addition to the influence of the Petrograd Soviet (dual power). Kerensky's provisional government ended up granting amnesty to political prisoners and establishing democracy with a secret vote, but continued into World War I, in which at the behest of the German government to destabilize Russia, Lenin returned to Russia, promising "Peace, Land and Bread". ", that in October of the same year, there was the October Revolution, overthrowing the provisional government and Lenin taking power. The Bolsheviks became the communist party and took measures in this direction, in addition to exiting the First World War, which, even losing the elections, remained in power and repressed opponents (turning into a dictatorship).

Several opponents of Lenin, some ex-Mensheviks, pro-church and pro-empire formed the white army, while the communists formed the red army led by Leon Trotsky. The white army took most of the country (Siberia), but the whites had several internal divergences, the red army took the smallest part (the European part), but the was "better part", in which it had more industries, population, a better climate, etc. and it had few internal divergences. There were also Greens who were against everyone and wanted centrism and Blacks who were anarchists, who took Ukraine but later supported the Reds. There was also the execution of the Romanov family. Both sides committed massacres and atrocities, known as White Terror and Red Terror. There was the consolidation of the USSR, there were the so-called revolutionary courts that tried, arrested, or executed the "counter-revolutionaried".

After the civil war, Soviet Russia merged with other Soviet states, including the Ukraine SSR, and formed the Soviet Union. The brutal civil war severely devastated the Russian economy and caused the The Great Russian Famine. Lenin saw the flaws of War Communism and realized that socialism could not be built in such a short time frame. He, therefore, enacted the New Economic Policy, which he described as “ State Capitalism”. The NEP allowed small and medium enterprises to operate and allowed the existence of private property. This economic policy oversaw the restoration of pre-war production and sustained economic growth.

After the revolution, communism began to take influence, parties and movements in Europe, bringing the first red fear, eventually electing fascist and anti-communist leaders later. There are currently several debates and controversies regarding the Russian Revolution, with some extolling Lenin as a liberator of the oppressed from capitalism, others as a genocidal dictator who led the Russian people to misery and others considering him as a state capitalist because of the NEP.

Menshevik

Menshevikism is a faction that split from Leninism that believes a bourgeois-Democratic revolution needs to occur before Socialist revolution

Foundational Beliefs

Vanguardism

Lenin talks about the structure of a Vanguard in What is to Be Done[14]. The Vanguard is a structure to be taken by a social class (in this case, the Proletariat), in order to exert political power and force against the former oppressive class/classes (in this case, the Aristocracy and Bourgeoisie). This form of organization involves the most revolutionary minds of the class form organizations known as the revolutionary Vanguard, to gather in the great portion of the working class in a unified political movement. This organization serves the function of:

1) Organizing the Proletariat, by educating the masses and instilling revolutionary class consciousness in them.

2) Defending Marxism against reactionary forces and hostile political systems present, by a revolutionary organisation lead by the most class-conscious of the workers for organizational unity and coherence.

3) Via the process of Democratic Centralism, organize the party through professional revolutionaries so that the Vanguard can both defend itself from other classes and organize and coordinate the workers for the Revolutionary takeover of power.

He argued this form of organization was necessary because of the observation of the working class in Western Europe not developing revolutionary class consciousness in mass and explained this phenomenon based on the division of labor and long working hours of workers causing this to happen. Nevertheless, Lenin believed that the working class could be organized into a revolutionary force, and the necessary tool for this was an organization that could draw in the masses toward a unified and coherent struggle.
