Why this word is great
LENINISM — [Noun] A political ideology developed by Vladimir Lenin that proposes the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat led by a revolutionary vanguard party, as the political prelude to communism. From the surname Lenin (pseudonym of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov) + the suffix -ism, denoting a system of belief or practice. Unlike Marxism, which provides the grand, diagnostic critique of capital, or Trotskyism, with its insistence on perpetual, borderless flame, Leninism is the cold architecture of seizure: the meticulous engineering of revolution as a concrete political event. It is the sealed train car carrying its architect toward destiny, the conspiratorial hush in a safe-house attic, and the relentless, grinding work of bending a continent’s chaos into a single, terrible will—the belief that history can be forced, through ironclad theory, to be free.
