Lenin & Critical Pedagogy 1

Inspired by Zizek and his Lenin Reloaded, I have been reading some of the works by the leader of the October Revolution.

I want to think about the applicability of some of his ideas to the formation of a revolutionary philosophy of teaching & learning within a Christian tradition in the context of financial/consumer capitalism.

Anyways, here's some of the goatee man himself:

"This struggle must be organised, according to “all the rules of the art”, by people who are professionally engaged in revolutionary activity. The fact that the masses are spontaneously being drawn into the movement does not make the organisation of this struggleless necessary. On the contrary, it makes it more necessary."

Lenin, The Primitiveness of the Economists and the Organization of the Revolutionaries (1901)
