| | 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. |

| | The Bolshevik Party and 'Zinovievism': Comments on a caricature of Leninism |
| | The charges against Lenin were rendered moot by the Bolsheviks gaining a majority at the RSDLP's fifth congress. | | | Proyect claims that in the lead-up to the Second Congress (1903) of the RSDLP, Lenin "wanted to unite Marxists" and that his criteria for party unity, and for the Bolshevik organisation formed after the congress, allowed for a far greater "ideological heterogeneity" than the later "Leninist 'improvement'". | | | At the Fourth ("Unity") Congress held in Stockholm in April 1906, the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks united into a single party organisation, with the Mensheviks securing a decisive majority of the new Central Committee—at the time the Mensheviks had 18,000 members and the Bolsheviks, 13,000. |

| | Lenin's doctrines became the groundwork of the Soviet system, and he is responsible for creating its absurdities. | | | According to Dovring, Lenin was a politician, not a scientist, and his aim was power, not truth. | | | Closing chapters deal with Lenin's personality, which is shown to be pathological in its inability to make concessions to intellectual argument, and the prevalence of pseudoscience in his doctrines. |

| | 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. |

| | 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). | | | In this you can see the influence of Guevara, his voluntarism and the role attributed to 'exemplary' actions. | | | Daniel Bensaïd, a central leader of the French Ligue Communiste Revolutionnaire (LCR), spoke on 'Leninism in the 21st century' at the 'Marxism 2001' event organised by the British SWP. |

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. |

| | PCP: On Marxism-Leninism-Maoism |
| | 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. |

| | Lenin's theory of the party is one of the most disputed questions on the left, certainly since the Bolshevik Revolution, and it is one of the most important in terms of how the left is organising around current anti-capitalist and industrial struggles. | | | There is of course a traditional response within the working class movement, a response which has as long a tradition as, if not longer than, Leninism: the Labour Party in this country and reformist parties internationally. | | | The notion here is that the party represents the class in its totality--that every strand of opinion within the working class should be represented within the organisation. |

| | Did Marxism-Leninism Offer Any Solutions |
| | In this partnership, Leninism was the Soviet Communist Party's doctrine of the seizure and maintenance of power and the implementation of several policies which Marx had advocated. | | | Many socialists and political scientists feel.there are still many valid arguments in the Marxist analysis of history and society that were perverted by the Leninist seizure of the Russian state and the subsequent 'Dictatorship of the Proletariat' -- the slogan under which a brutal totalitarianism was imposed on a continent for three-quarters of a century. | | | The validity of Marxism and Leninism to offer solutions to a host of problems is however still being debated although this hardly seems worthwhile to dedicated anti-Communists who always believed that one can judge the tree from its fruit. |
