Neo-Liebknechtism-Bebelism-Vladimir Lenin Thought, as based mainly on the teachings of Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Wilhelm Liebknecht, August Bebel and Vladimir Lenin, is the highest qualitative stage of Marxism so far and is the guiding ideology of revolutionaries the RevLeft over who carry forward the fight for a world free of all class distinctions, all exploitative production relations, all oppressive social relations, and all corresponding, reactionary ideas - the communist world of the future. Basic Liebknechtist-Bebelist principles were implemented successfully, though with shortcomings, in the SPD during the leadership of Liebknecht and Bebel, but it was the experience of socialist organization and the Russian Social-Democratic Labor Party in the Russian Empire under Lenin however that heralded 'Vladimir Lenin Thought' and later 'Leninism' as a new qualitative advancement of Liebknechtism-Bebelism. Key principles of Neo-LBL include:
1. The advocating for proletarian political independence – i.e. organizing the proletariat into a class-for-itself by the means of creating a mass party organization of the working class.
2. The alternative culture – i.e. creation of a counter-hegemony to the bourgeois ideological and cultural norms, by the means of creation of food banks, workers’ clubs, a revolutionary media, and so on for the purposes of organizing the proletariat into a class-for-itself.
3. The philosophical, strategic, and tactical approach of identifying the contextual principal everyday conflicts of the proletariat and supporting the working class in its daily struggles. (Not waiting for the proletariat to spontaneously embrace its most advanced sections as their leadership, in other words.)
4. Democratic republic (such as the Paris Commune) as a form of the dictatorship of the proletariat, as advocated by Marx and Engels.
5. Revolutionary patience in opposition to both left and right opportunism – that is, opposition to right’s desire to enter into parliamentary coalitions with bourgeois parties for temporary gain and opposition to those on the left who’d waste countless years of work for a temporary show of power by using contextually inappropriate strategies and tactics.
Unfortunately, following the lead of the Bernsteinite opportunists who destroyed the Marxist centre in the SPD after Kautsky’s senility, after Lenin's death the Bolsheviks were also taken over by opportunists who revise and betray fundamental principles of Marxism in the interests of capitalism and, like the SPD before it, a once great proletarian party was taken down the path of reformism and anti-communism. Because of this, we put particular emphasis on the dangers of opportunism. Despite the defeats of the 20th century, the flame of Liebknechtism-Bebelism-Vladimir Lenin Thought is still being kept alive and advanced by the experiences of the countless RevLefters in the main forums waging or preparing for education, agitation and organization. Long live Liebknechtism-Bebelism-Vladimir Lenin Thought!
