Leninisme

Leninism is a political ideology and theory of revolution developed by Vladimir Lenin, a Russian revolutionary and politician. It is a form of Marxism that emphasizes the need for a vanguard party to lead the proletariat in a revolution against the bourgeoisie. Leninism posits that the proletariat should seize power through a revolution, overthrowing the capitalist state and establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat. This phase is seen as necessary to transition to a socialist society, where the means of production are collectively owned and controlled.

Key principles of Leninism include the central role of the vanguard party, the importance of a revolutionary struggle, and the idea of a transitional phase from capitalism to socialism. Leninism also emphasizes the role of internationalism and the need for a united front of workers and oppressed peoples to achieve a socialist revolution. The ideology has been influential in the development of communist parties and movements around the world, shaping the political landscape of the 20th century and beyond.
