- The history of the Bolsheviks - particularly the life and ideas of Vladimir Lenin - contains essential lessons to guide us in the struggle for revolution today.
In this talk from the recent Marxist Student Federation summer school, Rob Sewell - editor of Socialist Appeal - explains why we need to build a revolutionary leadership on the model of the Bolsheviks.

good to see an educated and intellectual perspective on Lenin and the Bolsheviks as opposed to the mainstream politics perspective we normally get.
I was lucky enough to be there and ask a question, which he responded to thoroughly! A great talk from comrade Rob as usual.
At the end, I reflexively clapped
good work
"This effort was made in the same way as the extremely centralised and Jacobin endeavour of Babeuf. I owe it to you to say frankly that, according to my view, this effort to build a communist republic on the basis of a strongly centralised state communism under the iron law of party dictatorship is bound to end in failure. We learn in Russia how communism cannot be introduced” - Petr Kropotkin on the Bolshevik regime in a message to western workers

“We must raise the question of applying much of what is scientific and progressive in the Taylor system. The Soviet Republic must at all costs adopt all that is valuable in the achievements of science and technology in this field. We must organise in Russia the study and teaching of the Taylor system.” - Lenin

"The state as an institution is designed to protect and enforce oppressive class relations, such as that of the bourgeoisie over the proletariat, not erode them. Allowing the state to continue to exist will not assist in dissolving such relations, only in perpetuating them in new and equally destructive forms . Without the state, such classes will be unable to enforce their will on the populous, and thus will not be able to continue their existence." - Nestor Makhno.

“When the people are being beaten with a stick, they are not much happier if it is called "the People's Stick." - Mikhail Bakunin
one word : (khazarian jews) allah save me.
“The dictatorship of the proletariat . . . in reality it would be, for the proletariat, a barrack regime where the standardized mass of men and women workers would wake, sleep, work and eat to the beat of a drum ; for the clever and learned a privilege, of governing : and for the mercenary minded attracted by the state bank, a vast field of lucrative jobbery.” - Mikhail Bakunin.
Really stupid, in my high school years in Soviet Union, I was studying the same, but at a much deeper level. We're living its history and laughing on soviet propaganda 45 years ago.
I would really like to know why Trotsky is well regarded. I'm asking because there are many accounts of him being a narcissist, master of theatrics, fond of conspiracies/intrigues, and 0 qualms about betraying/lying to his collaborators.
