This is a recording made at the Socialist Appeal day school in London in June 2007, where comrades gathered to discuss the Marxist theory of the
State and the Revolutionary Tactics of the Bolshevik Party in 1917. In
the first part of this session Rob Sewell talks about the nature of
revolution, and how a revolutionary situation occurs not necessarily in
a boom or slump, but more likely in a rapid change in living
conditions. In
the second part of this session he talks about the flexibility of the tactics of Lenin, who consistently emphasised the need to patiently explain.
