Lessons of the Russian Revolution for today - A conversation with Comrade Vincent

Mansa sits down with Vincent for a special episode to discuss some key lessons of the Russian Revolution for the struggles of the working class and oppressed today, and how these are crucial to addressing the crisis of the left. We focus on three: split with social chauvinism, communist leadership of the democratic tasks, and internationalism (or why the revolution degenerated). What is revolutionary leadership? https://iclfi.org/spartacist/en/68/leadershipIn defense of permanent revolution https://iclfi.org/spartacist/en/68/permrevThe fight for the Fourth International today: https://iclfi.org/pubs/pamphlets/lfi-debate/4th-intlTrotsky - In defence of Octoberhttps://www.marxists.org/archive/trotsky/1932/11/oct.htm"An essential condition of the Bolsheviks' success," in Left-wing Communism: An infantile disorder: https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1920/lwc/ch02.htmFollow us on X @SpartacistICL and share the episode! Get in touch!sparttalk.org | Like the episode and subscribe to the show wherever you get your podcasts, and follow us on X @SpartacistICL, YouTube @Spartacist, or follow Mansa on Insta @punjabibolshevik
