Bolshevism

Bolshevism refers to the ideology of the Bolsheviks and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks). It is not to be confused with Marxism–Leninism, which was developed from Bolshevism. Bolshevism entails a vanguard party operating with almost military discipline under the principle of democratic centralism. The vanguard party will mobilize the proletariat (in alliance with the peasantry) for social revolution and the construction of a dictatorship of the proletariat. While doing this, the party will be constantly criticizing and self-criticizing along with purging opportunists and factionalists from the party.^[1]
