Even Leninism is getting co-opted now (copybookcourt.substack.com)

Some tagline worthy stuff in here,

purpose of Leninism as establishing Communism in Russia

According to him[Lenin], socialism was simply too complicated for the average worker to understand and therefore class consciousness could only come from the educated intelligentsia.

Lenin’s vanguard party would be made up of socialist intellectuals that would bring on the revolution even if the workers did not want it and if Russia was not ready for it according to orthodox Marxism.

Before anyone accuses me of being a fervent Communist, I still do think that the triumph of the Bolsheviks was a great tragedy that broke Russia in more ways than one, and she still has not recovered.

besides the Bolsheviks, are the sons of liberty in the American Revolution, the Bonapartists in the French one, the SPD in the early Weimar Republic and the NSDAP in the late, and finally modern Progressivism is also a Vanguardist movement.

The socialists relied on the workers who have had enough of capitalism, while Trump, the AfD, the FN, etc. Relies on millions of voters coming out to vote because they have had enough of inflation, immigration, and “wokeness“.

without a complex ideology, the movement will only attract naïve commoners who are genuinely devoted to the cause, and clever opportunist politicians and grifters who see an opportunity, but do not believe in the movement.

Therefore, I propose the application of Vanguardist principles, of Leninist principles, to the modern right wing.

This is reminding me of Parenti - to put his conclusions in my own words, Fascism is when the revolutionary rhetoric developed by the Left-Wing (whether that is Socialists or Communists or Left-Liberals) is used to advance the goals of the ruling classes instead.
