AI overview

I don't have sufficient context to write an accurate overview of Leninism. The provided context only contains a caption identifying Vladimir Lenin, without information about Leninism itself—its principles, implementation, historical significance, or why it matters. To write accurately without inventing facts, I would need substantive context about the ideology's actual tenets and historical importance.

thumb|Vladimir Lenin, after whom Leninism is named

Leninism (, ) is a political ideology developed by Russian Marxist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin that proposes the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat led by a revolutionary vanguard party as the political prelude to the establishment of communism. Lenin's ideological contributions to the Marxist ideology relate to his theories on the party, imperialism, the state, and revolution. The function of the Leninist vanguard party is to provide the working classes with the political consciousness (education and organisation) and revolutionary leadership necessary to depose capitalism in the Russian Empire (1721–1917).
