In this episode of Marxist Voice, Ben Gliniecki answers the vital question of how we can build revolutionary leadership today, drawing from many examples of previous attempts to do so, most notably the example of the Bolshevik party – the only party to ever lead the working class to power.
To conclude our series on the centenary of the 1926 General Strike, we publish an excerpt from Ben Gliniecki’s book ‘A Communist History of the British General Strike’, which outlines the lessons of this monumental struggle for revolutionaries and class fighters today.
