“Without Democratic Centralism, what Remains of the Revolutionary Party?”, Nimr Murqus Lecture

Titled “Without Democratic Centralism, what Remains of the Revolutionary Party?”, this lecture is by Nimr Murqus and it includes the principle of Democratic Centralism in organizing the parties of the revolutionary working class, which was victorious after a phase of the trials of labour parties during the last third of the past century. Then, he spoke of Social Democratic Reform Parties, which denied this principle in its organization and failed in achieving revolutionary changes in societies controlled by capitalist class exploitation, then it came with details of its refusal of Democratic Centralism and refusing to outline the characteristics of the party and its membership, as well as the battles fought to create a party of a new kind as a beacon for working-class and all other classes and layers exploited by capitalism so that Linin and the Bolsheviks from the Democratic Socialist Labour Party could establish it, where it was able to lead the Great Socialist Revolution in 1917 after a decade and a half. This event had proven the rightness of the party's Leninist organization principles, followed by the rise of several parties including the communist party in our country.
