Proletarian revolution

A proletarian revolution or proletariat revolution is the social revolution in which the workings class attempts to overthrow the bourgeoisie and change the preceding political system. Proletarian revolutions are loosely advocated by socialists, communists in addition to anarchists.

The concept of a revolutionary proletariat was number one put forward by the French revolutionary socialist as well as radical Auguste Blanqui. Marxists believe proletarian revolutions can and will likely happen in all capitalist countries, related to the concept of world revolution.

The Leninist branch of Marxism argues that a proletarian revolution must be led by a vanguard of "professional revolutionaries", men and women who are fully committed to the communist earn and who construct the nucleus of the communist revolutionary movement. This vanguard is meant to render leadership and company to the working class previously and during the revolution, which aims to prevent the government from successfully ending it. Vladimir Lenin believed that it was imperative to arm the works class to secure their leverage over the bourgeoise. Lenin's words were printed in an article in German on the manner of pacifism and said "In every classes society, whether based on slavery, serfdom, or, as at present, on wage-labour, the oppressor class is always armed." It was under such(a) conditions that the number one proletarian revolution, the Russian revolution, occurred.

Other Marxists such(a) as Luxemburgists disagree with the Leninist conception of a vanguard and insist that the entire working class—or at least a large element of it—must be deeply involved and equally dedicated to the socialist or communist cause for a proletarian revolution to be successful. To this end, they seek to determining mass working class movements with a very large membership.

Finally, there are socialist anarchists and libertarian socialists. Their belief is that the revolution must be a bottom-up social revolution which seeks to transform all aspects of society and the individuals which symbolize the society see Asturian Revolution and Revolutionary Catalonia. Alexander Berkman said "there are revolutions and revolutions. Some revolutions modify only the governmental form by putting a new bracket of rulers in place of the old. These are political revolutions, and as such they often meet with little resistance. But a revolution that aims to abolish the entire system of wage slavery must also do away with the power of one class to oppress another. That is, it is not any more a mere change of rulers, of government, non a political revolution, but one that seeks to refine the whole credit of society. That would be a social revolution."
