CLASS 2 - Lenin and the Path to Revolution

Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, more commonly known as Lenin, is a well-loved revolutionary across countries and movements, whose name embodies the spirit of working-class internationalism. Lenin and his successful leadership of the Bolsheviks not only proved the capacity of the proletariat to seize power but successfully established the first socialist state in 1917, demonstrating Marxism as a powerful and revolutionary force for the working class. A hundred years later, Lenin’s theories and strategies continue to illuminate the path forward for people and movements committed to building working class power, showing the necessary steps for achieving worldwide socialist revolution. Join us for a 3 part series with Brian Becker as we study the life, and legacy of Lenin, the formation of Leninism, the revolutionary paths it generated across the world.
