How to defy Marx and bring socialism to the Russian Empire? In this video, we explore how Lenin planned to build a Bolshevik movement that could overcome not just the Czar, but also traditional notions of how social movements were to be conducted. Lenin's ideas on manipulation, organization and ideology would not only serve him well during the actual Revolution, but also made him a pioneer of strategy in the industrial age.
