What Is to Be Done by Lenin?
Lenin is arguing in defense of scientific socialism and Marxism, but he calls it revolutionary social democracy. This controversy has led to there being two separate tendencies within the international socialist movement or what Lenin calls throughout the text social democracy. So whenever you hear that term, just know that it does not mean what it means today. It basically amounts to a sort of left liberalism masquerading as Marxism, also known as opportunism. Today we are still fighting this opportunism, which again is liberalism dressed in the radical garb of socialism.
