Описание: The People's School for Marxist-Leninist Studies presents the first part of a five-part series on Lenin's vital piece titled "Left-Wing" Communism: an Infantile Disorder. Part 1 primarily covers communist participation in bourgeois electoralism. A correct understanding and diagnosis of those who comprise the ultraleft are critical in advancing the principles of Marxism-Leninism. We hope you learn something new!
