Herbert Marcuse on Lenin - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 44 Lenin/Marcuse/Scherrer: Marcuse saw the centralist organization of the party, which was initially justified by the backwardness of conditions in Russia and the Russian proletariat, as the basic principle of the later Leninist party: leadership over the proletariat. Lenin's struggle against the spontaneous mass action of economism, "his statement that class consciousness must be taught to the proletariat 'from the outside'", Marcuse said, "anticipated the later actual transformation of the proletariat from subject to object of the revolutionary process". He defined later Leninism as "the shift of revolutionary power from the class-conscious proletariat to the centralist party as the avant-garde of the proletariat" (Marcuse 1974, 43, 51)(1). >Lenin as author. 1.
