Back in the early 1970s, for a book titled What Is To Be Undone, I looked from deep within the Sixties but at a moment near its end, at the New Left movements of those times. I sought to discern flaws that needed to be transcended. I wondered was our mindset—our theory, strategy, and tactics—and were our methods, feelings, and choices sufficient to our revolutionary aims?

Continuing a presentation of the components of Classical Marxism Leninism preparatory to assessing the system's merits and demerits as ideology for contemporary practice, this entry presents Leninism as overwhelmingly excerpted from a book titled What Is To Be Undone that was published in 1974. It aims to present a summary of Leninism as used by Lenin and Trotsky in their day to day practice back then, but also as Leninism is used nowadays. What constitutes Leninism? What is being Leninist?

Most of this article, like the prior related ones, was conceived and written back in the early 1970s and excerpted from a book I published in 1974. The last two presented Classical Marxism and Leninism as used by activists as I encountered them back then (and as they are used now, too), and this one moves on to assess Marxist Leninist practice in the Russian Revolution as a step toward assessing not only that practice but also the underlying Marxist Leninist ideology.
