What happens when you can't afford the healthcare? You'll get taxed for not having it.

Trotsky formed the red army. You know who hates soldiers?


Marx.

Anyways, that article basically disproves Lenin and all of his comrades. Trotsky was better than Lenin, but not by much.

And when I say state, I mean the vanguard party that acts on behalf of the people, which is why Leninism is closer to reformist politics than radical politics. If the Vanguard party must act on behalf of the people then it's clear that the conditions were not yet ready for the revolution. It is supposed to be the mass proletarian movement that overthrows the bourgeois; not bourgeois overthrowing the bourgeois.

Right, but Russia wasn't industrialized. Lenin wasn't trying to establish communist society, but rather do all he could to help the situation until an industrialized society like Germany had a revolution. Then Russia would be helped in industrializing. I'm not a Marxist-Leninist by any means. I lean toward Trotskyism. At least he believed in international proletarianism. I believe, excluding some south american revolutionaries, anything post Lenin/Trotsky is damaging to socialism.

A bit of both. Lenin believed that the people didn't have the time to learn marxism.

Marx viewed communism as a historical period, and that the natural development of capitalism would lead to it's downfall. No vanguard party is necessary.

Class consciousness can be spread by individuals, but Lenin's interpretations of this, manifested into a vanguard party, was very un-marxist because it puts political power in the hands of the state; the vanguard is a coalition of upper classmen doing upper class things. I urge you to read Rosa Luxemburg's article, "Leninism or Marxism." It's a very strong critique of Leninism.

I am simply a Marxist of the most traditional fashion.

I am a Marxist. Lenin was wrong.

Lenin was an opportunist, and many of his ideas differed strongly from traditional Marxism and that is why he failed. Class consciousness will be achieved by its own and all a vanguard party is, is just another bourgeois institution. The Russian revolution was not a proletarian one.

If Socialism can only be realized when the intellectual development of all the people permits it, then we shall not see Socialism for at least five hundred years.
- Vladimir Lenin

Is this an elitest statement, or just a realistic one? By "intellectual development" he doesn't mean that the workers aren't smart, but that they don't have the means of educating themselves about their situation.
