Lenon and the Cadets in These Worker Congresses

The debates over the duma and cadets in these worker congresses really starts to reveal the national direction that each side is pulling itself. The mensheviks are clearly inclined to pursuing regular, legal party work. They wanted to create a mass party of workers to contest elections and then use the duma to enact beneficial legislation. But lenin was relentlessly and emphatically arguing that the revolution would be won by a mass uprising. And here i am very influenced by lars lee's book on lenin, which blows up a lot of these old myths.
