Leninism

Leninism, also known as Orthodox Leninism or Bolshevism, is an authoritarian, left-wing to far-left, socialist and communist ideology based on the beliefs of Russian revolutionary and first leader of the Soviet Union  Vladimir Lenin. He believes in the establishment of a Dictatorship of the Proletariat led by a Revolutionary Vanguard Party. He wants the full abolishment of private property and is in favour of socialist publicly owned property.

Vanguardism
Lenin talks about the structure of a Vanguard in What is to Be Done. The Vanguard is a structure to be taken by a social class (in this case, the Proletariat), in order to exert political power and force against the former oppressive class/classes (in this case, the Aristocracy and Bourgeoisie). This form of organization involves the most revolutionary minds of the class form organizations known as the revolutionary Vanguard, to gather in the great portion of the working class in a unified political movement. This organization serves the function of:

1) Organizing the Proletariat, by educating the masses and instilling revolutionary class consciousness in them.

2) Defending Marxism against reactionary forces and hostile political systems present, by a revolutionary organisation lead by the most class conscious of the workers for organizational unity and coherence.

3) Via the process of Democratic Centralism, organize the party by elected professional revolutionaries, so that the Vanguard can both defend itself from other classes and organize and coordinate the workers for the Revolutionary takeover of power.

He argued this form of organization was necessary because of the observation of the working class in Western Europe not developing revolutionary class consciousness in mass, and explained this phenomenon based on the division of labour and long working hours of workers causing this to happen. Nevertheless, Lenin believed that the working class could be organized into a revolutionary force, and the necessary tool for this was an organization that could draw in the masses towards a unified and coherent struggle.

[[File:Biolen.png]] Biological Leninism
Biological Leninism is not a formal ideology that any political party or group identifies with, but rather a theory regarding western leftism thought of by Neoreactionary thinkers. The theory states that most leftist groups in the west have added, alongside economic socialism,  biological socialism to their ideology. Alongside creating a revolution which puts the working class in charge of the nation and distributes wealth it wants to systematically place those with a "low biological status" in power.

Stylistic Notes
Leninism usually wears Lenin’s famous cap which he’s seen in many photos with.

He likes shooting Tsars and Royals like Monarchism.

He has memorized all of Lenin’s works from beginning to end.

Товарищи (Comrades)

 * [[File: Ormarxf.png]] Marxism - Greatly inspired me and taught me a lot of stuff. I greatly thank him and admire him!
 * [[File: LeftCom.png]] Left Communism - Your criticism of Turruti and Co. was correct, but your conclusion from said criticism was wrong.
 * [[File: Luxem.png]] Luxemburgism - Rest in power, Rosa! But Ukraine should be independent...
 * [[File: Parti.png]] Particracy - Democratic Centralism by the worker's soviets is the way to go.
 * [[File:Marxfem.png]] Marxist Feminism - Fellow revolutionary! I was very progressive and massively improved women and gay rights! The first general secretary of the Soviet Union is a woman too.
 * [[File:Erga.png]] Ergatocracy - Every cook must learn how to govern the state!
 * [[File:ChenDuxiu.png]] CPC - Our Chinese comrades must join the [[File:3princ-col.png]] Kuomintang to fuel the fires of a communist revolution in the future.
 * [[File:Trot.png]] Trotskyism - While I appreciate you leaving the Mensheviks for me, and the revolution would fail without you, a lot of your essays were half-Menshevik. Without your we had never achieved our revolution but too big headed.
 * [[File:Bukh.png]] Bukharinism - While you were one of the most important members of the party you never grasped dialectics. And socialism in one country is such a stupid idea(same thing with him[[File:Stalin.png]].)

Люмпенпролетариат (Lumpenproletariat)

 * [[File: Centmarxf.png]] Centrist Marxism - You influenced me in the 2nd International. However you have become nothing but a renegade after the 1st World War.
 * [[File:Menshevik.png]] Julius Martov - You and I were friends, but your political views are nothing but philistine ramblings.
 * [[File:Stalin.png]] Stalin - While you were definitely an old and important member of the Bolshevik party, why did you purge the Old      Bolsheviks and not listen to Tukhachevsky's orders in the Polish-Soviet War (who you later also got killed)!? Also I won't forget what you said to my wife. Last but not for importance the victory of socialism in one country is impossible as socialism is the abolition of classes as you even said  in your letter to Kouchtyssev.
 * [[File:NEP.png]] NEP (Post-revolution) - Look, I am just going to use you for the manipulation of classes alright.
 * [[File: Marketsoc.png]] Market Socialism - State-owned Cooperatives are a good way of transitioning from [[File: Statecap.png]] Petty-Bourgeoisie Capitalism to State Capitalism, but stop being naïve, a revolution is clearly needed.
 * [[File:3princ-col.png]] Tridemism - A revolutionary democrat, endowed with nobility and heroism... but he rejected Marxism and most of his followers aren’t supportive of communism.
 * [[File:Kemal.png]] Kemalism - We helped you in the Turkish war of independence and you are a fellow anti-imperialist and a progressive. But you aren't a supporter of Communism. Why? Don't you know the best way to fight Imperialism is Communism?
 * [[File:Bism.png]] Bismarckism - Reactionary German imperialist. Thanks for the train back to Russia though.
 * [[File: Vpered.png]] Vperedism - More good than bad. But how can you think that the peasants have no role in the revolution!?

Буржуазия (Bourgeoisie)

 * [[File: Monarch.png]] Monarchism - I still remember when I overthrew you ХАХАХА! Good riddance scum. February revolution? Never heard of that.
 * [[File:Dsa.png]] Democratic Socialism [[File:Demsocstar.png]] - Menshevik scum!
 * [[File:Esers.png]] Socialist Revolutionarism - Stop blaming me for banning Left SRs: we tried to work together, but then they attempted to coup me!
 * [[File:Monsoc.png]] Monarcho-Socialism - What?
 * [[File:Bernst.png]] Reformist Marxism - Filthy opportunist, who thinks that you can turn the bourgeois state into a workers' one without a revolution. Also, Petliura is totally an anti-semite and I totally did not made the whole thing up just to ruin his reputation.
 * [[File:Khrusch.png]] Khrushchevism - The head of the bureaucracy. You helped Stalin to create his cult of personality and when he died you used it against him. You even participated in the purges of the old Bolsheviks that you denounced and your reforms took my country ever further away from Marx's vision.
 * [[File:Infantiledisorder.png]] Infantile disorder - What "Left-wing" rubbish! Please forget the fact that I called Pannekoek the representative of Marxism.
 * [[File: Cap.png]] Capitalism - You are the enemy of the people! One day the workers will once again rise against you, filthy kulak! Mark my words! Thanks for the improved economy though.
 * [[File: Imp.png]] Imperialism - The highest stage of Capitalism.
 * [[File: Fash.png]] Fascism - Ah yes, Fascism. The building blocks for pretty much most cancerous ideologies. You need to step into the pit for once.
 * [[File: Nazi.png]] National Socialism - Same as Fascism but worse. You aren’t a socialist. You just made up your own ideology with inspirations from Fascism and called yourself Socialism, German Fascism is what you truly are.
 * [[File: BlackHundred.png]] Black-Hundredism - Tsarist AND Fascist? Get the bullet, reactionary scum! Also, Korenizatsiya goes brrrr, stay mad, [[File:GreatRussianChauvinism.png]] Great Russian Chauvinist.

 * [[File: Socdem.png]] Social Democracy - Opportunist! Also, shame on you to be indifferent to witness [[File: Strato.png]] Stratocracy murder [[File: Luxem.png]] Luxemburgism!
 * [[File: Reactsoc.png]] Reactionary Socialism - A relic of the past, Feudalism's sad attempt to co-opt socialism to restore itself.
