working class worth mentioning. To this problem, Lenin offered a mili-
tant solution: Marx's predicted revolution wouldn't be carried out by the
workers (the proletariat, in Marxist literature), but by surrogates—a
Communist Party of professional revolutionaries with military training,
acting on the workers' behalf. By using armed intervention and propa-
ganda, " "the Communist Party" would bring about a political revolution.
From the moment their authoritarian regime seized power, it would es-
tablish what Lenin called the "dictatorship of the proletariat." It would
clear away opposition, abolish private property, and ensure society's ad-
vancement towards a Communist order.
With Lenin's theory, Communism would become the ideology of a
group of armed terrorists. After him, hundreds of Communist Parties
(or workers' parties devoted to bloody revolution) sprouted throughout
the world.
What methods did the Communist Party intend for its revolution?
Lenin answered this in both his writings and his actions: The Party
would shed as much blood as possible. In 1906, eleven years before the
Bolshevik Revolution, he advocated these terrifying ideas and methods
in “Lessons of the Moscow Uprising” published in Proletary magazine:
"We would be deceiving both ourselves and the people if we concealed
from the masses the necessity of a desperate, bloody war of extermination,
as the immediate task of the coming revolutionary action."
"… attack, not defence, must be the slogan of the masses; the ruthless ex-
termination of the enemy will be their task. "
" Let us remember that a great mass struggle is approaching. It will be an
armed uprising. It must, as far as possible, be simultaneous. The masses
must know that they are entering upon an armed, bloody and desperate
struggle. Contempt for death must become widespread among them and
will ensure victory."
" Social-Democracy must recognise this mass terror and incorporate it into
its tactics, organising and controlling it of course, subordinating it to the
interests and conditions of the working-class movement and the general
revolutionary struggle."
Lenin wrote in the same magazine:
The phenomenon in which we are interested is the armed struggle. It is
conducted by individuals and by small groups. Some belong to revolu-
tionary organizations, while others (the majority in certain parts of Russia)
