Destails the role of the individual in great historical events. |
We know that,the people,the masses make history.The people are divided into classes,which in the course of the class struggle organise their own political parties from whose ranks come leaders,the most experienced,trained and active members.The role of these leaders in history consists in forming parties and organising the people,rousing them to action,setting them definite tasks and mobilising them to carryout these tasks.The more active the parties and the masses in history are and the wider,the circle of people who influence social life the more the pressing is the need for experienced,mature leaders.Without leaders the advanced class and its vanguard are incapable of gaining power,maintaining and consolidating its political rule,building its own state and fighting their political enemies succesfully. "Not a single class in history has achieved power,without producing its political leaders,its prominnent representatives able to organise a movement and lead it"Lenin wrote:.The role of leaders,of ideologists is particularly great in the proletariat's revolutionary movement.For the proletariat,organisation and iron dicipline,unity and cohesion are the most important means for achieving the aims confronting it.And an organisation is inconcievable without experienced and battle-hardened leaders.Without highly authoratative leaders,intrepid organisers and wise ideologists,the working-class movement could not have found the right ways and means of fighting the exploiters.V.I.Lenin"The Urgent Tasks of Our Movement",Collected Works,Vol.4,p.470. by:Galeri |
