| | The New Leninism, by Chad Nagle |
 | | The SRs were not Bolsheviks, but only shared power briefly with Lenins Party in the government after the Revolution, and ultimately proved untrustworthy. | | | In much the same way as Lenins 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. |

| | Leninist-Stalinist Marxism expressly justified, at least to a certain extent, the curious epistemology of this apparently impossible phenomenon--sincere mendaciousness. | | | Lenin was the creator of totalitarian doctrine and of the totalitarian state in embryo. | | | Referring to this political doctrine of Stalinism, Kolakowski (53) wrote: |

| | Socialism: Theory and Practice - Leninism |
| | In truth, Leninism was probably meant only to be a real world application of Marxist ideas to the environment of Russia, but it has created its own school of thinking. | | | This triumph created the first officially socialist state in the history of the world, with Vladimir Illich Ulyanov, known to history as Lenin, at its helm. | | | By the time of its demise though, it had ceased to be truly Leninist. |

| | Leninism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | 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. | | | 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. | | | 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. |

| | Communism and Counterrevolution |
| | Leninism is a consistent development of the internal logic of Marxism, adapting it for practical use. | | | 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." |

| | 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. |

| | Marxism - Leninism in the 21st century |
| | We have to start by remembering that the very term Leninism only appeared after the death of Lenin, notably in the speech by Zinoviev to the Fifth Congress of the Communist International (1924). | | | The invention of ’Leninism’ as a religiously mummified orthodoxy, was part of the process of bureaucratisation of the Comintern and the Soviet Union. | | | In this you can see the influence of Guevara, his voluntarism and the role attributed to ’exemplary’ actions. |

| | The Contribution of J.V. Stalin to Marxism-Leninism |
| | In his article "The National Question and Leninism" (1929) and in the Political Report to the XVI Congress of the Party (1930) J.V. Stalin put forward new and most important positions about bourgeois nations and socialist nations. | | | Lenin and Stalin raised high the banner of militant Marxism in the party, gave an all-sided substantiation and developed the genius view of Marx and Engels on the irreconcilable struggle between proletarian and bourgeois ideology, as a law of class struggle. | | | J.V. Stalin thoroughly investigated the laws of this new formation. |

| | Again on the Essence of Leninism |
| | 289.) 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. | | | The question of the essence of Leninism is not a random one and it appears it is raised as a result of the continuous attempts to revise the teachings of Marxism-Leninism. | | | To confine Marxism to the theory of the class struggle means curtailing Marxism, distorting it, reducing it to something acceptable to the bourgeoisie. |

| | The Lenin mausoleum served as the monumental centrepiece of sacral rites and practices to be enacted by the Stalinist orthodoxy. | | | The coup d'état of October 1917 accomplished the institutionalisation of a political religion combining a political and sacral monopoly of power and belief. | | | The beginning iconography of a Leninist sacral tradition praised Lenin as a messianic and numinous leader, a process of iconographic work in progress which culminated after Lenin's death in the sacral Lenin cult. |

| | Should the court of intellectual evaluation find Marxism and Marxism Leninism innocent of responsibility for the Soviet debacle? | | | So we can see why with the demise of the Soviet model, allegiance to Marxism and Marxism Leninism might also wane, since these ideologies were indeed aimed in their principles, concepts, thought, and vision (though not the deepest aspirations of many of their advocates), at this model. | | | Finally, Leninism is a natural outgrowth of Marxism employed by people in capitalist societies, and Marxism Leninism, far from being the “theory and strategy for the working class,” is, instead, by its focus, concepts, values, and goals, the “theory and strategy for the coordinator (professional-managerial, technocratic…) class.” |

| | Trotskyism, or those who follow Leon Trotsky (who led the opposition to Stalin's reactionary policies after Lenin's death in 1924) is actually a continuation of Marxism/Leninism, but many people use the word Trotskyism to distinguish themselves from the Stalinists. | | | Leninism is really nothing more than the extension of Marx's ideas into the age of imperialism (the age of the domination of finance capital and monopolies, and the total subjugation of the colonial world to the will of the major powers). | | | Stalin and Mao were NOT Marxists, they were actually quite anti-Marxist in that they led regimes based not on democratic control of the state by the workers, but rather based on totalitarian control by an elite stratum of bureaucrats who were a parasite on the workers' state. |
