Leninism

Leninism is a political ideology developed by Vladimir Lenin that builds on Marxist principles, adapting them to the conditions of early 20th-century Russia. It advocates for a revolutionary vanguard party to lead the working class towards socialism, emphasizing the need for a centralized, disciplined organization to achieve and maintain power. Leninism stresses the necessity of overthrowing the existing state to establish a dictatorship of the proletariat, which is meant to dismantle capitalist structures and create a socialist society. This approach influenced many revolutionary movements around the world and has been a significant aspect of socialist thought.
