What Is To Be Done? by Vladimir Il’ich Lenin
Burning Questions of Our Movement
The book is a seminal work in which the author outlines his vision for a revolutionary socialist movement, emphasizing the need for a highly disciplined and centralized party to lead the proletariat in overthrowing the bourgeoisie. He critiques the existing socialist movements of his time for their lack of organization and theoretical clarity, advocating for a vanguard party composed of professional revolutionaries who can guide the working class toward achieving a socialist state. The work underscores the importance of political consciousness and strategic planning in the struggle for social and economic transformation.
