The October Revolution

October was not a spontaneous revolution of the people. One relatively small Bolshevik party outwitted another – the Menshevik – because it was better organized, more committed and had a clear view of what to do. The Mensheviks were confused about policy.

SHOULD WE END THE WAR OR NOT? SHOULD WE STOP THE PEASANTS SEIZING LAND? SHOULD WE STOP THE WORKERS TAKING OVER THE FACTORIES? WE HAD NO CLEAR DIRECTION. LENIN INSTEAD APPLIED A BASIC MARXIST PRINCIPLE. THE EXISTING SOCIAL ORDER MUST BE COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND A PLANNED ECONOMY AND WORKERS’ DICTATORSHIP ESTABLISHED.
