| | The New Leninism, by Chad Nagle |
 | | The SRs were not Bolsheviks, but only shared power briefly with Lenin’s Party in the government after the Revolution, and ultimately proved untrustworthy. | | | In much the same way as Lenin’s Party did, the War faction of the current Party also tolerates dissent from within its ranks, and so far has not shot any dissenters. | | | People in countries like Bulgaria, Romania and Lithuania do not become more prosperous and "free" by virtue of their homelands’ admission into Leninist institutions like NATO, the EU or the WTO, but they do achieve "progress," something all Party members appreciate even from a great distance. |

| | Lenin was the creator of totalitarian doctrine and of the totalitarian state in embryo. | | | Referring to this political doctrine of Stalinism, Kolakowski (53) wrote: | | | None the less, Lenin's political opportunism was to some extent restrained by doctrinal considerations; whereas in Stalin's day, from the early thirties onwards, doctrine was absolutely subordinated to the purpose of legitimizing and glorifying the Soviet government and everything it did. |

| | Leninism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Lenin's constant theoretical fights with the Mensheviks, the moderate wing of his own party, are especially notable, and Trotsky has been his most prominent theoretical opponent. | | | The term Leninism came into widespread use only after Lenin's stroke ended his active participation in the Soviet goverment: Zinoviev popularised the term at the fifth congress of the Communist International. | | | Leninism is a political and economic theory which builds upon Marxism, the most prominent form of communism, and is a branch in its own right. |

| | Lenin's conception of the revolutionary party was his attempt to create a revolutionary force which would act on the basis of its own consciousness to fulfill a revolutionary program on behalf of all of society. | | | Capitalism will inevitably fall of its own internal contradictions: "capitalist production begets, with the inexorability of a law of Nature, its own negation." | | | Lenin assigned the dominant role in Marxist revolution to the revolutionary party. |

| | Most importantly, Lenin raised the theory and practice of proletarian revolution to a whole new level as he led the proletariat in seizing and consolidating its political power, its revolutionary dictatorship, for the first time with the victory of the October Revolution in formerly Tsarist Russia in 1917. | | | Lenin developed the political party of a new type, the Communist Party, as the proletariat's indispensable tool for leading the revolutionary masses in the seizure of power. | | | After Lenin's death, Joseph Stalin defended the proletarian dictatorship against enemies from within as well as from the imperialist invaders during World War II, and carried forward the cause of socialist construction and transformation in the Soviet Union. |

The Trotskyist Zinoviev defined Leninism this way: "Leninism is Marxism of the era of imperialist wars and of the world revolution which began directly in a country where the peasant predominates." Based on his own definition of Leninism, Zinoviev considered that the main question is the role of the peasantry. | | | Lenin had to undertake within the party a thorough ideological struggle against the holders of private-owner ideology, who represented the interests of the petty bourgeoisie in the countryside and the cities. |

| | Further, we should keep in mind that when Comrade Stalin rightfully and correctly stated that we had entered the stage of Leninism in the development of Marxism, there was also opposition, and those who opposed it also did so in the name of defending Marxism. | | | He taught us that as the revolution shifted to the East it would confront specific conditions which, without denying principles and laws, were nonetheless new situations, and that Marxism could not fail to recognize this fact on pain of leading the revolution to defeat. | | | Not to recognize Maoism's character as an "ism" is to deny that it is universally applicable and, consequently, its character as the third, newest and highest stage of the ideology of the international proletariat: Marxism- Leninism-Maoism, principally Maoism, which we uphold, defend and apply. |

| | Can Marxism-Leninism Survive Economic Reform? - Franz Michael |
