Lenin

What Is To Be Done

In 1902 Lenin published a pamphlet titled What Is To Be Done? outlining the need for highly trained professional revolutionaries.

In What Is to Be Done?, Lenin argues that the working class will not spontaneously become political simply by fighting economic battles with employers over wages, working hours and the like. To convert the working class to Marxism, Lenin argues that Marxists should form a political party, or "vanguard", of dedicated revolutionaries to spread Marxist political ideas among the workers.
