"A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is."

Vladimir Lenin, The State And Revolution

Leninism, also known as Orthodox Leninism or Bolshevism, is a highly authoritarian, economically far-left socialist and communist ideology based on the beliefs of the Russian revolutionary and first leader of the Soviet Union Vladimir Lenin. He believes in the establishment of a Dictatorship of the Proletariat led by a Revolutionary Vanguard Party . He wants the full abolishment of private property and is in favor of socialist publicly owned property.

History

The Russian Revolution was a revolution that formed the first Marxist state by eliminating Tsar Nicholas II in 1917. Before the revolution, Russia was in a complicated situation, high social inequalities, lack of freedom, absolutism, extreme poverty, illiteracy, remnants of feudalism, backwardness compared to other countries, exhausting work with several hours and among countless other problems. One of the first oppositions emerged with the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP) of a Marxist and democratic socialist nature founded by Vladimir Lenin but ended up being considered illegal by the Empire, in which Lenin ended up fleeing to other European countries. Subsequently, the party split into two wings, the more radical Bolsheviks (Russian "Majority") and the more moderate Mensheviks (Russian "Minority").

The empire was already losing popularity among the people, in which there were protests in 1905 in Saint Petersburg, but it was violently repressed with the imperial guard shooting and killing hundreds, in what became known as Bloody Sunday. After the massacre, the people were furious against the tsar, culminating in the revolution of 1905, causing the tsar to create the Duma (parliament) as a way to alleviate the situation, allowing parties. Many historians claim that the revolution of 1905 was a "rehearsal" for that of 1917. In 1907, some revolutionaries were arrested or had to flee (like Lenin, again). way to calm the protests and increase patriotism against an outside enemy, but it was a disaster due to the high number of casualties and the death of 1,600,000-1,800,000 soldiers, destroying what was left of Russia (economy, infrastructure, quality of life, etc was completely destroyed), causing the tsar himself to command the army in 1915 leaving his wife to rule the country, in which they accused her of treason for being German and also of the Romanov family being influenced by Grigori Rasputin, being assassinated in 1916. numerous protests, rebellions, and increased tensions, in which there was a demonstration in 1917, in which the guard was called to repress, but ended up allying with the protesters, which in March of the same year took place the Revolution of February (calendar difference), overthrowing the Tzar and the monarchs. A provisional government formed by the Duma and led by Alexander Kerensky was formed, in addition to the influence of the Petrograd Soviet (dual power). Kerensky's provisional government ended up granting amnesty to political prisoners and establishing democracy with a secret vote, but continued into World War I, in which at the behest of the German government to destabilize Russia, Lenin returned to Russia, promising "Peace, Land and Bread". ", that in October of the same year, there was the October Revolution, overthrowing the provisional government and Lenin taking power. The Bolsheviks became the communist party and took measures in this direction, in addition to exiting the First World War, which, even losing the elections, remained in power and repressed opponents (turning into a dictatorship).

Several opponents of Lenin, some ex-Mensheviks, pro-church and pro-empire formed the white army, while the communists formed the red army led by Leon Trotsky. The white army took most of the country (Siberia), but the whites had several internal divergences, the red army took the smallest part (the European part), but the was "better part", in which it had more industries, population, a better climate, etc. and it had few internal divergences. There were also Greens who were against everyone and wanted centrism and Blacks who were anarchists, who took Ukraine but later supported the Reds. There was also the execution of the Romanov family. Both sides committed massacres and atrocities, known as White Terror and Red Terror. There was the consolidation of the USSR, there were the so-called revolutionary courts that tried, arrested, or executed the "counter-revolutionaried".

After the civil war, Soviet Russia merged with other Soviet states, including the Ukraine SSR, and formed the Soviet Union. The brutal civil war severely devastated the Russian economy and caused the The Great Russian Famine. Lenin saw the flaws of War Communism and realized that socialism could not be built in such a short time frame. He, therefore, enacted the New Economic Policy, which he described as “ State Capitalism”. The NEP allowed small and medium enterprises to operate and allowed the existence of private property. This economic policy oversaw the restoration of pre-war production and sustained economic growth.

After the revolution, communism began to take influence, parties and movements in Europe, bringing the first red fear, eventually electing fascist and anti-communist leaders later. There are currently several debates and controversies regarding the Russian Revolution, with some extolling Lenin as a liberator of the oppressed from capitalism, others as a genocidal dictator who led the Russian people to misery and others considering him as a state capitalist because of the NEP.

Foundational Beliefs

Vanguardism

Lenin talks about the structure of a Vanguard in What is to Be Done. The Vanguard is a structure to be taken by a social class (in this case, the Proletariat), in order to exert political power and force against the former oppressive class/classes (in this case, the Aristocracy and Bourgeoisie). This form of organization involves the most revolutionary minds of the class form organizations known as the revolutionary Vanguard, to gather in the great portion of the working class in a unified political movement. This organization serves the function of:

1) Organizing the Proletariat, by educating the masses and instilling revolutionary class consciousness in them.

2) Defending Marxism against reactionary forces and hostile political systems present, by a revolutionary organisation lead by the most class-conscious of the workers for organizational unity and coherence.

3) Via the process of Democratic Centralism, organize the party through professional revolutionaries so that the Vanguard can both defend itself from other classes and organize and coordinate the workers for the Revolutionary takeover of power.

He argued this form of organization was necessary because of the observation of the working class in Western Europe not developing revolutionary class consciousness in mass and explained this phenomenon based on the division of labor and long working hours of workers causing this to happen. Nevertheless, Lenin believed that the working class could be organized into a revolutionary force, and the necessary tool for this was an organization that could draw in the masses toward a unified and coherent struggle.

Theory of Imperialism

Leninism inspected Imperialism's balls considered Imperialism to be the highest stage of capitalism in which global monopolies and cartels primarily drive society. According to him, its five basic features were:

• The presence of monopolies which play a decisive role in economic life.
• The merging of bank capital with industrial capital into finance capital controlled by a financial oligarchy.
• The export of capital as distinguished from the simple export of commodities.
• The formation of international monopolist capitalist associations (cartels).
• The territorial division of the whole world among the biggest capitalist powers.

Leninism's conception of imperialism is therefore quite different from the typical conception of Imperialism.

Bukharinism/Right Opposition

Nikolai Bukharin (1888–1938) was one of the most prominent intellectuals and political leaders of the early Soviet state. A member of the Bolshevik movement before the Russian Revolution, Bukharin became known both for his theoretical contributions to Marxist thought and for his role in debates over the economic and political direction of the Soviet Union. The ideas later associated with the Right Opposition within the Communist Party developed gradually through the major political conflicts of the revolutionary and early Soviet period.

Bukharin entered revolutionary politics as a young Marxist activist in the Russian Empire. During his early years in exile in Western Europe, he engaged with different currents of socialist thought and became particularly interested in the revolutionary debates taking place among Marxists across the continent. In these years he interacted with figures connected to radical socialist theory and developed an interest in philosophical ideas that ranged widely beyond orthodox Marxism. By the time of the Russian Revolution, Bukharin had already become one of the more intellectually adventurous members of the Bolshevik movement.

After the revolution, Bukharin quickly rose within the leadership of the new Soviet government. He worked closely with Vladimir Lenin and became editor of the party newspaper Pravda. In the early 1920s, as the country struggled to recover from civil war and economic collapse following the Russian Civil War, Soviet leaders debated how to rebuild the economy. Bukharin became one of the most prominent defenders of the New Economic Policy, which allowed limited market activity and private enterprise within a socialist state framework.

Bukharin argued that the policy would gradually strengthen the economy and allow socialism to develop without forcing immediate and disruptive transformation in agriculture and industry. His speeches during this period famously encouraged peasants to “enrich yourselves,” reflecting his belief that a gradual increase in rural prosperity could stabilize the Soviet system and encourage voluntary cooperation between peasants and the socialist state. This approach placed him in opposition to leaders who favored more rapid and coercive economic transformation.

During the power struggles that followed Lenin’s death in 1924, Bukharin initially aligned himself with Joseph Stalin against the political faction led by Leon Trotsky. In these debates Bukharin criticized Trotsky’s proposals for rapid industrialization and permanent revolutionary expansion abroad, arguing instead that the Soviet Union needed a stable internal economic strategy. His views supported the idea that socialism could be consolidated within a single country while the Soviet economy developed gradually through mixed mechanisms that included both planning and controlled market activity.

However, the political landscape shifted dramatically at the end of the 1920s. Stalin abandoned the gradual approach associated with Bukharin and instead launched rapid industrialization and forced collectivization of agriculture. Bukharin openly criticized these policies, warning that coercive collectivization would damage agricultural productivity and alienate the peasantry. These disagreements led to a bitter conflict within the Communist Party. Bukharin and his allies were eventually marginalized, forming what later historians called the Right Opposition.

By the late 1930s, Bukharin had lost nearly all political influence. During the period of political repression known as the Great Purge, he was arrested, accused of participating in conspiracies against the Soviet state, and subjected to a highly publicized trial. In 1938 he was executed, becoming one of the most prominent victims of the purges that reshaped the Soviet leadership.

In retrospect, Bukharin’s political outlook came to represent a distinctive strand of Soviet socialist thought. His approach emphasized gradual economic development, the coexistence of limited market mechanisms within a socialist system, and caution toward policies that relied heavily on coercion. The debates surrounding his ideas—particularly those concerning the New Economic Policy, the role of the peasantry, and the pace of socialist transformation—remain among the most significant ideological disputes in the history of the Soviet Union.

Mayakovskyism

Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930) was one of the most influential cultural figures of the early Soviet period. Known primarily as a poet, playwright, and artist, he became closely associated with the artistic and political upheaval that followed the collapse of the Russian Empire and the rise of the Soviet state.

Mayakovsky’s early life unfolded during a time of political unrest in the Russian Empire. As a young man he became involved in revolutionary circles and was briefly imprisoned for his participation in underground political activity. During these years he began exploring avant-garde art movements that rejected traditional literary styles and cultural hierarchies. His creative development soon brought him into contact with the Russian branch of Futurism, an artistic movement that sought to break with the past and celebrate modern technology, urban life, and revolutionary change. Futurist artists believed that art should actively reshape society rather than merely reflect it, an idea that strongly influenced Mayakovsky’s worldview.

Before the revolution, Mayakovsky participated in Futurist exhibitions and performances that challenged conventional culture and authority. These events often used shocking language, dramatic performances, and unconventional typography to provoke audiences and disrupt established artistic norms. Through these actions he demonstrated a tendency toward questioning rigid authority structures in both art and society, though he still believed revolutionary movements were necessary to create a new social order.

The Russian Revolution transformed Mayakovsky from an avant-garde provocateur into a cultural voice of the revolutionary state. Rather than retreating into purely literary work, he devoted his talents to the political transformation taking place around him. Mayakovsky believed that artists had a responsibility to help shape the future society envisioned by the revolution, and he sought to make poetry, theater, and visual design instruments of social mobilization.

One of the most distinctive aspects of his work during this period was his engagement with mass communication. Mayakovsky collaborated with the Soviet state’s propaganda efforts, producing posters, slogans, and illustrated messages that were distributed across the country. Much of this work took place through the ROSTA Windows, a propaganda project organized by the Russian Telegraph Agency. These visual posters combined bold imagery with short, rhythmic slogans designed to communicate political messages quickly to a largely illiterate population. Through this work Mayakovsky helped pioneer a style of political communication in which artists and media creators played a central role in shaping public discourse.

In literature and theater, Mayakovsky continued experimenting with form and language. His poems frequently celebrated industrialization, urban energy, and technological modernity while attacking what he saw as stagnation, conservatism, and cultural backwardness. Works such as The Bedbug and The Bathhouse satirized bureaucratic inefficiency and social complacency, reflecting his frustration with elements of the Soviet system that he believed were drifting away from the revolutionary spirit that had inspired him.

Despite his support for the revolution, Mayakovsky sometimes found himself at odds with emerging cultural authorities who favored stricter ideological control over artistic production. His insistence on creative experimentation and his willingness to criticize bureaucratic rigidity created tension with more orthodox cultural institutions. This placed him in a complicated position: he remained committed to the revolutionary project while also resisting the idea that artistic expression should be tightly constrained by official doctrine.

Throughout the 1920s, Mayakovsky continued to promote the idea that art should actively participate in shaping a new and progressive society. He saw the poet not simply as an observer but as an engineer of social consciousness, someone capable of inspiring people to embrace modernity and revolutionary transformation. His public performances, lectures, and published works helped make him one of the most recognizable cultural figures of the early Soviet era.

Mayakovsky’s life ended tragically in 1930, but his influence persisted in Soviet literature, avant-garde art, and revolutionary cultural theory. His career demonstrated how artistic innovation, mass communication, and political commitment could merge into a single creative project aimed at transforming society itself.

Sverdlovism

Yakov Sverdlov (1885–1919) was one of the most important organizational figures of the early Bolshevik movement and the emerging Soviet state. Although his life was short, his influence on party discipline, revolutionary administration, and the political structure of the new government was considerable.

Sverdlov was born in Nizhny Novgorod during the final decades of the Russian Empire, a time when the autocratic government of Nicholas II faced growing revolutionary opposition. As a young activist, Sverdlov became involved with the revolutionary underground and joined the Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic movement. His early political work centered on organizing workers and building clandestine party networks dedicated to overthrowing the tsarist monarchy. During these years he became known for his uncompromising hostility toward the aristocratic social order that dominated imperial Russia and for his rejection of the limited parliamentary reforms introduced after the 1905 revolution.

Much of Sverdlov’s early revolutionary career was spent under surveillance, imprisonment, or internal exile in remote parts of the empire. Despite these obstacles, he developed a reputation within the Bolshevik movement as a disciplined and highly effective organizer. By the time of the February Revolution and the subsequent collapse of the Romanov monarchy, Sverdlov had become one of the most trusted associates of Vladimir Lenin.

Following the October Revolution, Sverdlov assumed a crucial role in shaping the internal structure of the new Soviet government. As chairman of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, he effectively functioned as one of the highest-ranking officials in the emerging political system. His work focused heavily on coordinating party institutions, enforcing discipline among revolutionary cadres, and strengthening the authority of central leadership during the fragile early period of Soviet rule.

The early Soviet state faced enormous challenges, including civil war, economic collapse, and armed opposition from anti-Bolshevik forces. During the Russian Civil War, Sverdlov played a major role in organizing the administrative machinery that supported the Bolshevik war effort. The Soviet government relied heavily on centralized coordination of resources, strict party discipline, and military mobilization to maintain control over territory and suppress opposition. These circumstances helped produce a political environment in which military authority, revolutionary committees, and centralized command structures were deeply intertwined.

During the war years the Bolshevik government also adopted drastic economic measures to sustain the Red Army and maintain political control. These policies became known as War Communism. The system involved state control of industry, requisitioning of agricultural goods, and strict regulation of economic activity. Sverdlov, as a senior party administrator, played a key role in implementing and coordinating these policies through the party’s growing network of local authorities.

The revolutionary government also relied on propaganda and communication networks to maintain political support during the chaotic war period. Party publications, public speeches, and official proclamations helped disseminate revolutionary messages across the country. Sverdlov’s organizational leadership ensured that these channels were coordinated with party directives, linking communication, political authority, and mobilization of the population in support of the revolutionary project.

Another aspect of Sverdlov’s work involved managing the complex ethnic and national landscape of the former Russian Empire. The early Soviet government attempted to integrate numerous nationalities into the new political system while maintaining centralized authority in Moscow. Party administrators under Sverdlov’s leadership worked to organize local soviets and revolutionary committees in diverse regions, attempting to reconcile national diversity with the unified structure of the Bolshevik state.

During the harsh conditions of civil war, the revolutionary leadership also endorsed severe measures against perceived enemies of the new regime. Revolutionary tribunals, security forces, and emergency powers were employed to suppress counterrevolutionary activity and stabilize the government’s control. These practices reflected the belief among many Bolshevik leaders that extraordinary measures were necessary to defend the revolution during a period of existential conflict.

Sverdlov’s career was cut short in 1919 when he died during the civil war period. Despite his brief life, his administrative methods and organizational approach helped shape the structure of the early Soviet political system. His emphasis on disciplined party coordination, centralized authority, and the mobilization of revolutionary institutions left a lasting imprint on how the Bolshevik state functioned during its formative years.
