Vladimir Ilyich Lenin on Revolution - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 38 Revolution/Lenin: in his opinion, the revolution can only be brought about by such revolutionaries whose revolutionary work has become their profession and whose only occupation is conspiratorial political activity. Brocker I 39 "Give us an organization of revolutionaries and we will lift Russia off its hinges!" (1) Such a not very extensive organization of professional revolutionaries makes no distinction between workers and intellectuals, nor between professions. However, Lenin makes a substantial distinction between the organization of the revolutionary social democratic party - the professional revolutionaries - and the organizations of the workers. A unified all-Russian organization of revolutionaries is also to take over the leadership of the trade union federations of workers throughout Russia. 1.VsLenin: Lenin is criticized for wanting - in contrast to German social democracy - a centralized figting organization in which no electoral offices are planned. LeninVsVs: fighting organization. A revolutionary organization, as Lenin fends off alleged critics here, cannot carry out comprehensive democratism. 2.VsLenin: he sees power only in the hands of a few. LeninVsVs: this does not mean, however, that the professional revolutionaries will "think for everyone". (2) 1. Lenin, W.
