I agree that there has to be a group leading the planning and organization of the movement as a whole but I don’t think that Lenin succeeded where others failed because of adherence to correct theory. The Bolsheviks certainly didn’t all agree with each others interpretation of Marxism and I’d imagine that all of the uprisings you mentioned certainly had their own specific circumstances that derailed well meaning intentions gleaned from what someone believed was correct.

I’ll personally get lots of use from your reading list, but I think it’s important to understand that some of us will always gain a better understanding of what constitutes theory by seeing it applied to a particular performative action.

If we wait until every affected individual is up to reading and understanding Marxist theory before combining it with practice then this movement is going nowhere. ‘Correct practice’ of a revolution? Really?
