RE: [Marxism] The moderator and Leninist method'gy

["Joaquin Bustelo" <jbustelo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Benjamin Morgan writes, "Lenin and his formation of a Vanguard Party
isolated him and other intellectuals from the mass of workers; this
epitomizes the lassie faire mentality which bastardizes similar
organizational structures."

I think if you look at the matter closely you will find a radical difference
between what Lenin actually did and what latter-day "Leninists" claim he was
about.

You might look at:

one of Louis's essays on this issue, and my own critical comments on
democratic centralism, which is here:
