Disclaimer: I am not personally taking the position that Lenin wasn't a Marxist. Rather this video is to investigate why people accuse him of such, and especially to explore the other writings which could have influenced Lenin's thinking while growing up, in addition to Marx. Being inspired by other sources, or having certain beliefs prior to Marxism, don't disqualify you from being a Marxist ipso facto. ------------------------------------------------------------ - 00:00 - Introduction - 01:47 - Marxist Theory - 03:16 - Historical Background - 04:21 - Serfdom (Emancipation) - 06:24 - Influence of Mir on Democratic Centralism - 07:45 - Narodniks (Going to the People) - 09:43 - Chernyshevsky's What Is to Be Done? - 11:03 - False Consciousness - 12:06 - Terrorism (People's Will) - 13:18 - Lenin's Early Life (Pre-Marxist Activity) - 17:38 - The Russian Revolutionary Tradition - 19:33 - Pyotr Tkachev - 21:38 - Marx Arrives in Russia - 22:31 - Lenin's Marxism with Russian Traditions - 23:33 - Georgi Plekhanov Era (Development of Capitalism) - 24:48 - Economism and Revisionism - 25:35 - What Is to Be Done? - 27:06 - Lenin and Tkachev - 28:37 - Intellectuals in the Vanguard - 31:38 - The Later Lenin - 32:02 - State and Revolution - 32:35 - Russian Revolutions (Opportunist?) - 33:31 - Did Lenin Prove Marx Wrong? - 35:15 - Conclusion Noj links: https://linktr.ee/nojraps Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nojraps/ Music Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@nojraps ------------------------------------------------------------ Bibliography - Atkinson, Dorothy. “The Statistics on the Russian Land Commune, 1905-1917.” Slavic Review 32, no. 4 (1973): 773–87. - Cliff, Tony. “Lenin and the Revolutionary Party.” In International Socialism 58 (1973): 10–14. - Draper, Hal. “The Myth of Lenin's ‘Concept Of The Party’: Or What They Did to What Is To Be Done?” In Historical Materialism 4, no. 1 (1999), 187–214. - Ehrenberg, John R. “Lenin and the Politics of Organization.” Science & Society 43, no. 1 (1979): 70–86. - Engels, Friedrich.
