Lenin's Theoretical Mistakes in Economism
Lenin argues that the followers of economism saw economic struggle as the crucial struggle. They argued that revolutionary social democrats ought to basically provide insights and document what's happening in the labor movement, rather than try to steer or guide it. Lenin: The economists believe that the masses will just spontaneously achieve revolutionary consciousness through the struggles that they're already engaged in. He says spontaneous action can never develop revolutionary theory in a society where capitalist ideology is dominant.
