You believe in the establishment of a classless, socialist society led by a vanguard party to achieve true equality and workers' control over the means of production.
Leninism is a political ideology that emerged from the theories and practices of Vladimir Lenin, a key figure in the Russian Revolution of 1917. It is a branch of Marxism that advocates for the establishment of a socialist state through a vanguard party of professional revolutionaries, who would act as leaders of the proletariat, or working class. Leninism is characterized by its emphasis on the role of the party in leading the revolution and establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat.
Leninism originated in the early 20th century, during a time of intense political and social uph…

What would happen if leaders believed they knew your personal needs better than you do?
@9HN4GG32yrs2Y
They lived an entirely different life compared to mine, they definitely do not know my personal needs s much as I do myself
They will become overpowering in a form as such of having your whole life planned out for you.
@9HN3TK82yrs2Y
I think on paper it is a ridiculous, but if you think about it, it might be necessary. Leaders should not be able to deny you of any true necessity but they have the right to claim when too much or too little of something is being had.
@9HN3Z9TRepublican2yrs2Y
People wouldn't get the care they needed and the government would have more issues.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If you had to depend on the community for your successes and failures, how might that shape your ambitions?
@9KBCBMN1yr1Y
I don't really know what this is but I don't want to depend on the community for what happens to me.
@9KBCG4V1yr1Y
It would definitely change how i view the people living around me, I would form more opinions on them and I would put more effort into my appearance and try to influence they way they view me.
@9KBC6JHRepublican1yr1Y
Make me less likely to innovate and imagine a better future.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would your motivation at school or work change if you were rewarded the same as everyone else, regardless of effort?
@9KBBTGF1yr1Y
I would like to think that I would continue to work hard, however there would most cirtainly be people that would slack off, because they know that no matter how little they work in school that they would continue to get the same score as everyone else. this would eventually lead to a massive shift down in scores and overall smartness of students.
Odds are that I wouldn't put in as much effort as needed
@9KBBTS51yr1Y
I don't think I'd feel very motivated because not everyone deserves an award.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What's your stance on the necessity of strong leadership versus the importance of everyone having a say in group decisions?
@9K9CDN61yr1Y
when it comes to the necessity of strong leadership versus the importance of everyone having a say in group decisions, it's all about finding a balance, you know? Strong leadership can provide direction, coordination, and efficiency, while also ensuring that decisions are made in a timely manner. However, it's equally important to value the input and perspectives of everyone in the group. Including diverse voices leads to better decision-making and a sense of ownership among the members. So, a combination of strong leadership and inclusive decision-making can create a healthy and effective group dynamic.
I think it's important to find a balance in both. A leader is necessary, but the most important part is if that leader can work well with others. Being an active listener to the people around you, and incorporating some of their ideas and feelings is what makes a good team and a leader people can respect.
They go hand-in-hand. You need a strong leader to help steer the group in the right direction but you also need group decisions because ones decision can be flawed.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Would you support a decision that's best for society but limits your own personal freedoms?
@9HN53WX2yrs2Y
No, the would is never going to be a utopia, everyone has their personal freedoms.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you had to trust a group of strangers to make decisions for you, what qualities would they need to have?
@9HGYQ9MRepublican2yrs2Y
1) Honest ( tell it like it is )
2) don’t bring in your religious views
3) They must favor the working class not the poor class or the wealthy class. The poor need jobs not cash,
They welfare is not a career choice.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Is absolute equality in society an achievable goal, or is some level of inequality inevitable?
@9HN58Z82yrs2Y
Full equality isnt possible in the current stage of humanity, but it can happen in the far future
some level has to be there, someone will have to be in charge of enforcing it
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you feel if the pursuit of collective equality limited your personal development opportunities?
@9HVK4DZProgressive2yrs2Y
I don't really know i don't pay attention to that much stuff.
@9HVDKMT2yrs2Y
I would feel as though the government would be oppressing the choices I have.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How does the idea of a pre-determined revolutionary path, led by an elite group, align with your personal values about democracy and self-determination?
@9HDJ4SR2yrs2Y
Considering the concept of "Leninism" and its notion of a pre-determined revolutionary path orchestrated by an elite group, I find myself grappling with a stark misalignment with my personal values concerning democracy and self-determination. While Leninism advocates for a vanguard party to guide the masses, my commitment to democratic ideals emphasizes the importance of decentralized decision-making and individual empowerment. I firmly believe that true democracy thrives when people actively participate in shaping their destinies, fostering a sense of self-determination among indiv… Read more

Have you ever changed your group's direction based on the ideas of a few influential members, and was the outcome positive?
@9HN536T2yrs2Y
I have never changed my group's direction based on the ideas of a few influential members.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you think history might judge a society that puts collective goals above individual aspirations?
@9HVP69QProgressive 2yrs2Y
A society that puts collective goals over individuals aspirations will be admired and will be judged fairly by hsistory.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If a society provides for all your needs, what kind of work would you choose to do, and what would motivate you?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would daily motivation differ in a society where material success isn't the end goal?
it would differ because people would want to succeed based off what they could get but what they can learn.
@9L4RCWZ1yr1Y
I feel like I wouldn't have as much motivation cause I would have nothing to show for my work.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do you feel about the idea of sacrificing personal wealth for the certainty that no one in your community goes without basic needs?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If success was measured by community improvement rather than individual gain, how might that impact your future plans?
It wouldn’t, I plan on leading this nation to greatness, whether it be through the military or as a corporate power.
@9KBBCCG1yr1Y
i might not have what everyone is gaining even if it's for the community the lack of materials it provides can be difficult.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Would a classless society where everyone's role is equally valued appeal to you, and why?
@9HN3SR6Independence2yrs2Y
Maybe it depends on would people respect each other enough.
No, that is true socialism or commmunism and neither socialism or communism will work. it always ends in dictatorship and i want no part in dictatorship. Also you need to not have everyone get stuff easily
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Do you think the concept of 'for the common good' can justify actions that restrict certain liberties, and if so, under what circumstances?
@9L6YNVQIndependent1yr1Y
I think that a big problem with Marxism and Leninism is that it doesn't take into account human greed and the ability to abuse the system when you are in power. In a perfect world maybe it would be better and maybe it would work but someone always wants to abuse and use something good and it never works out for the majority of people.
well.. s o r t of. for the common good can apply in very specific circumstances- such as universal free healthcare, universal free food, universal free school, etc, but in other specific circumstnaces where it would restrict someone else, it- no, ew, thta's gross.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How much importance do you place on the notion of 'working for the common good,' and how does it shape your behavior?
@9HTMB9C2yrs2Y
If you work for the common good, there will always be people taking advantage of your work, poor or rich, weak or powerful.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How might the idea of 'the greater good' influence your personal choices and sacrifices?
@9HTM9WR2yrs2Y
People , can pick any narrative to make a greater good.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Is it possible for one group to know what's best for everyone, and how might that impact individual freedom?
@9HQ4F4D2yrs2Y
It would restrict individual freedom and not one group knows what’s best for everyone.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you feel about sacrificing some individual freedoms for the promise of collective societal gain?
@9H9N6MD2yrs2Y
i feel that isn't for the collective, though it's unfair.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In a world concerned with collective well-being, what individual qualities or talents do you think would still be appreciated?
@9KB95751yr1Y
Being kind to others because it could still get someone far
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Do you see any parallels between leadership in school projects and the idea of a vanguard party leading society, and what are they?
@9KLTT6K1yr1Y
Yes I do , because school projects ca be preparing children for public speaking in life .
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How does the idea of lifting each other up in a community affect your sense of independence and cooperation?
@9KTP4YD1yr1Y
Reliance and dependency on someone is often dangerous.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would your day-to-day life change if competition was replaced by cooperation in every aspect?
@9K8RTV61yr1Y
I would probably get more equal opportunities in the workforce and greater support academically.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can a revolution ever be justified if it means taking away some individual rights temporarily?
@9J7RT9X1yr1Y
All rebellions are ordinary. The driving force is adrenaline addiction and the desire to gain personal power. All rebels are closet aristocrats. Atrocity merely arms the future for more atrocity.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can the end ever justify the means if the goal is to achieve equality for all?
@9HN3KL92yrs2Y
No because their might be something that is unfair to one or to all
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What lessons can be learned from the failure or success of group-oriented initiatives you've been a part of?
@9KSYR7JRepublican1yr1Y
By seeing what we did correctly and got where we needed to be and to see where it didn't work out good
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What would make you more willing to follow a leader: their vision for society or their methods of leadership?
@9KWFPPF1yr1Y
It, not function, is necessary something of capitalism in any ideology
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What kind of sacrifices do you believe are reasonable for the good of society, and where would you draw the line?
@9JCSX68 1yr1Y
Well, first off we need to completely change the current system we have via revolution. I believe that the government instead should be controlled by a council of the working class led by a democratically elected chairperson by a majority popular vote. This working class would need to seize the means of all production and I believe that we need an education system that has strong political bias towards this ideology because the American two party system is flawed.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you prioritize personal freedom versus societal benefit when considering the role of government?
@9KS588S1yr1Y
The role of the federal government should be non existent in our personal lives.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How might your relationships evolve if everyone around you shared equally in society’s wealth and resources?
@9KM3NS2Libertarian1yr1Y
we could be more compelled to collaborate but still maintain independence
