Leninism

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

Leninism

Modification of Marxism by Lenin which argues that in a revolutionary situation the industrial proletariat is unable to develop a truly revolutionary consciousness without strong leadership.

The responsibility for this is taken on by the Communist Party, which acts as the ‘vanguard of the proletariat’ in leading it to revolution, before then assuming political control in a dictatorship of the proletariat. Only when the proletariat achieves a full socialist awareness will the power of the party, and ultimately the state itself, wither away.

Such exultant poems as "The International Spirit," written in the year that McKay published his best-selling black proletarian novel, Home to Harlem (1928)--the same year that the Comintern's Sixth World Congress passed a resolution that African Americans in the US South constituted an "oppressed nation"--contest the orthodoxy that McKay chucked Leninism during the early 1920s.
