Leninism

'Leninism' is a foundational text of 20th-century political theory, authored by Joseph Stalin during a pivotal era in the formation of the Soviet state. This work serves as an essential synthesis of the principles and practices of Vladimir Lenin, expanding upon the ideological framework that drove the Bolshevik Revolution. Stalin articulates the core tenets of the proletarian revolution, the role of the Communist Party as the vanguard of the working class, and the strategic necessities of the dictatorship of the proletariat.The text explores the nuances of imperialism, the national question, and the transition from capitalism to socialism, positioning Lenin’s contributions as the highest stage of Marxism. By codifying these ideas into a cohesive doctrine, 'Leninism' provides a comprehensive guide to the organizational and ideological structures that defined the early Soviet Union. It remains a critical historical document for scholars and readers interested in the evolution of Marxist thought, the history of Russia, and the geopolitical shifts that shaped the modern world.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
