We finish up the 2nd chapter "An Essential Condition of the Bolsheviks’ Success" of Lenin's famous book “Left-Wing” Communism: an Infantile Disorder.

In this video we mostly focus on the questions:
-how the Russian proletariat arrived at Marxism
-what conditions allowed Bolshevism to emerge
-how and why Bolsheviks maintained centralism
