Organizers are the Heart of a Revolution: Learning and Unlearning From Lenin

by Bruce Lerro / Flashpoints / 10 Nov 2017
This is a very interesting article about the relationship between organization and spontaneity.

It tries to use Lenin’s example dialectically, neither canonizing him as the Leninists do, nor demonizing him, as the anarchists do. We can do without the French theorists but thankfully there isn’t much of that.
