Reseña del libro "What is to be Done? (en Inglés)"
In "What Is to Be Done?", V.I. Lenin presents a foundational argument for the formation of a vanguard party to lead the working class toward revolution. This influential political treatise addresses the organizational challenges facing the Russian social-democratic movement at the turn of the 20th century. Lenin critiques the prevailing trends of "economism," which prioritized immediate labor reforms over broader political struggle, arguing instead for a highly disciplined and centralized organization of professional revolutionaries.The work explores the crucial distinction between trade-union consciousness and revolutionary consciousness, asserting that the latter must be brought to the proletariat from without by a dedicated intelligentsia. By outlining the necessity of a clandestine, well-structured party and a centralized newspaper to coordinate efforts, Lenin provides a blueprint that would eventually shape the Bolshevik party and the course of the Russian Revolution. "What Is to Be Done?" remains an essential text for understanding Marxist-Leninist theory, the history of political organization, and the development of 20th-century revolutionary movements. This rigorous analysis of strategy and tactics continues to be studied for its insights into political mobilization and the dynamics of ideological struggle.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
