What Is to Be Done? [Burning Questions of Our Movement]
What Is to Be Done? [Burning Questions of Our Movement] | V I Lenin
2 posts | 4 read | 3 reading | 3 to read
2013 Reprint of 1929 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In "What Is to Be Done?," Lenin argues that the working class will not spontaneously become political simply by fighting economic battles with employers over wages, working hours and the like. To convert the working class to Marxism, Lenin insists that Marxists should form a political party, or "vanguard," of dedicated revolutionaries to spread Marxist political ideas among the workers. The pamphlet partly precipitated the split of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP) between Lenin's Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks and is perhaps the hallmark of Leninism.

(2/2) Finally read this banger. Chapters 2 & 4 were on the additional course readings list for the CLR James seminar, but I decided to push through the whole thing since it was short enough & such a seminal revolutionary text.

BookishTrish @TheSpinecrackersBookClub Do tell... Whereabouts did you go? 8y
Simona @BookishTrish I was expecting some books about Stalin.😃 8y
TheSpinecrackersBookClub @BookishTrish I was in Moscow and then took the train to St Petersburg. It was my dream since a kid to see St.Basils. I also say it feels like a lie toe say you went to Russia if it was only the two countries. There is still so much left to see. I would really recommend the trip. I had goosebumps all over during the walk up the hill to red square and then seeing it in all its glory. 8y
BookishTrish That sounds awesome @TheSpinecrackersBookClub! I was lucky enough to spend 14 months in Moscow in the late 1990s after having been fascinated by all things Russian since childhood. I'd love to go back for q visit! 8y
BookishTrish @Simona What can I say? He fascinates me. 8y
TheSpinecrackersBookClub @BookishTrish I'm so jealous. I assume your pretty fluent in Russian? 8y
