| Lenin | Luxemburg | Brocker I 41 Organisation/Politics/LuxemburgVsLenin/Luxembourg: In her article "Organisationsfragen der russischen Sozialdemokratie" published in Iskra in 1904 and reprinted by the Neue Zeit - the organ of German social democracy - Rosa Luxemburg accused Lenin of "ruthless" and "military ultra-centralism". "The blind subordination of all Brocker I 42 party organisations [...] under a central power that thinks, creates and decides for everyone alone" and "the separation of the organized core of the party from the revolutionary milieu surrounding it" equated Luxembourg with the methods of the blanquist conspiracy circles. The activity of the party organization and the growth of proletarian consciousness cannot be separated (Luxembourg 1983, 429). (1) Brocker I 43 Rosa Luxemburg, incidentally, continued her early criticism of Lenin's conception of the new type of party, which had to destroy any effective control of the masses over the leadership organs and thus any real democracy in the party and in society, in her critical assessment of the October Revolution. The despotic forms of exercising power and the liquidation of all democratic freedoms led them to the later famous phrase: "Freedom only for the followers of the government, only for members of one party [...] is not freedom. Freedom is always only freedom of the differently thinking" (Luxembourg 1948, 53) (2). 1.Rosa Luxemburg, »Organisationsfragen der russischen Sozialdemokratie«, in: dies., Gesammelte Werke 1893 bis 1905, Bd 1, Halbbd 2, Berlin 1983, 422-444. 2.Rosa Luxemburg, Die russische Revolution.

| Lenin | Trotsky | Brocker I 41 Lenin/Party Politics/Organization/TrotskyVsLenin/Trotsky: Trotsky had already accused Lenin in his report on the second party conference of wanting to replace the weak Russian working class by the party, and therefore accused him of blanquism and Jacobinism. Above all, Lenin's 1904 paper "One Step Forward, Two Steps Back", in which Lenin defended the Central Committee's absolute control over the party, provoked the fierce criticism of Trotsky as well as of Rosa Luxemburg. Trotsky: (in: L. Trotski, "Unsere politischen Aufgaben", 1904, p. 54)(1): according to Lenin's logic, first "the party should replace the class, then the organization should replace the party, thereafter the Central Committee, the organization and finally the dictator the CC". >Dictatorship, >Political parties. 1.L.Trotzki, Trotzki, Leo [Trockij, Lev], Naši političeskija zadači, Genf 1904.

| Organisation | Plekhanov | Brocker I 42 Organisation/Politics/PlekhanovVsLenin/Plekhanov: Plekhanov criticises Lenin's overvaluation of the "spontaneous workers movement". Lenin's views on the organisation had made the proletariat a passive moment in the hands of the intelligentsia.(1) >W.I. Lenin. 1.

| Revolution | Lenin | Brocker I 38 Revolution/Lenin: in his opinion, the revolution can only be brought about by such revolutionaries whose revolutionary work has become their profession and whose only occupation is conspiratorial political activity. Brocker I 39 "Give us an organization of revolutionaries and we will lift Russia off its hinges!" (1) Such a not very extensive organization of professional revolutionaries makes no distinction between workers and intellectuals, nor between professions. However, Lenin makes a substantial distinction between the organization of the revolutionary social democratic party - the professional revolutionaries - and the organizations of the workers. A unified all-Russian organization of revolutionaries is also to take over the leadership of the trade union federations of workers throughout Russia. 1.VsLenin: Lenin is criticized for wanting - in contrast to German social democracy - a centralized figting organization in which no electoral offices are planned. LeninVsVs: fighting organization. A revolutionary organization, as Lenin fends off alleged critics here, cannot carry out comprehensive democratism. 2.VsLenin: he sees power only in the hands of a few. LeninVsVs: this does not mean, however, that the professional revolutionaries will "think for everyone". (2) 1. Lenin, W.

| Utopia | Lenin | Brocker I 32 Utopia/PutinVsLenin/Lenin: Lenin's ideas are as far removed from the reality of today's Russia as never before. President Vladimir Putin distanced himself - exactly one year before the centenary of Lenin's revolution in 1917 - from its state-destroying character, which would have destroyed the cohesion of the historic Russian empire. Brocker I 33 Political Parties/Lenin: At the centre of What is to be done? is the creation of a disciplined organization of a revolutionary party under the conditions of the autocratic Russia.
