Two Tactics of Social-Democracy in the Democratic Revolution

  • Summary

  • Lenin's Two Tactics of Social-Democracy in the Democratic Revolution (1905) outlines the contrasting strategies for socialist engagement in the bourgeois-democratic revolution. He critiques the Mensheviks' reliance on the liberal bourgeoisie to lead the revolution, arguing this would fail to dismantle feudal remnants and would compromise proletarian interests. Instead, Lenin advocates for the Bolsheviks' approach: a worker-peasant alliance to form a "revolutionary-democratic dictatorship of the proletariat and peasantry." This coalition, he argues, can most effectively overthrow autocracy, achieve land reform, and lay the groundwork for socialist transformation, independent of bourgeois influence.
