Amateur Marxism and a response to "Why Maoism?"

Faith and Capital

This episode is lesson #3 of a four-part series in which Chase reflects upon particular lessons generated from his study of Lenin's What is to Be Done?
Lesson #3: The victory of the masses assumes the development of a party of revolutionaries, not amateurs, and of maoists, not other "marxists."
The full essay "Lessons from Lenin: What is to Be Done?" will be released shortly on our patreon.
