The International Socialist Organization will be hosting a New England wide day school on the Russian Revolution based on Paul LeBlanc's book "Lenin and the Revolutionary Party" on Saturday November 14th.
We've seen numerous struggles over the past year, from Black Lives Matter to the fight against austerity in Greece to the Seattle Teachers' strike. But our movements have also faced major political questions.
Genuine socialism can only come about through the actions of tens of millions of working-class people fighting in their own interest. Yet, the ruling ideas of any society are the ideas of the ruling class. Many working-class and oppressed people hold left wing ideas and right-wing, bourgeois ideas that can hold back struggle.
How then can mass socialist revolution be possible?
This day school is designed to deepen our understanding of the Russian Revolution and the Bolshevik Party as a key example of succesfful working class revolution and organization. By studying Paul LeBlanc's "Lenin & the Revolutionary Party", we hope to take this history and it's lessons into the struggles & debates today in fighting for a world free of exploitation & oppression.
