What Is to Be Done?

In this foundational text, the great Lenin makes significant contributions to Marxism, particularly to its component part of scientific socialism. He critiques the then-prevailing amateurishness, spontaneity, and Economism of the Russian working-class movement, and in doing so, outlines the necessity of developing consciousness so that the revolutionary party can lead mass struggles and not fall into tailing the "drab everyday struggle." Today, when the U.S. proletarian movement finds itself in a similar situation as Russia 125 years ago, What Is to Be Done? is a Classic that demands study.
