In this video: 6th text in the Basic Marxism-Leninism Study Course and a well-known work by Lenin on its own. After several years of running Iskra, a socialist magazine, Lenin here summarizes what he saw as positive and negative trends within the Social-Democratic (socialist) movement of the day, critiquing them and their leaders in detail, and makes specific proposals as to how to correct them and keep the movement going forward. The creation of an  all-Russia newspaper is one of the key planks of his vision.

"What Is to Be Done" (1902) by Vladimir Lenin. Full Audiobook + Discussion of Classic Marxist Text.

black powder left a pagan's spell on me
papers on the rug
fog on the highway knocks the breath from me
years weren't long enough

and then I'm tugged away to one last night as two
pitchpole with the boat
lover, let the sea do what it wants with you
holding onto hope

that i'll find myself
floating on a plank
on the crest of a wave
crashing on down into you.
into you.

envelopes and letters on the summer air
ripped up neat and soft 
keep tucked away a weight she tries to bear
impulsive stolen rocks

can't let it go, a daily struggle now
heavy on the mind
what's the word for how i felt with you around
just shy of sublime

some nights when i get nervous
my thoughts and my dreams
plot beneath the surface
and turn all at once into you.
into you.
into you.

into you.

esther dodson.
