Counterforum looks at the role of two leading Marxist revolutionaries, 

Lenin was the leader of the Bolshevik Party and the architect of the Russian revolution. He remains the foremost Marxist theorist of political organisation.

Georg Lukacs is the greatest Marxist philosopher since Marx. But he was also an active revolutionary - a commissar in the Hungarian Workers Republic of 1919.

Together the writings of Lenin and Lukacs are a unique inheritance for activists today. 

Chris Nineham examines Lukacs unique contribution to our understanding of class consciousness and the role of political organisation in social change.
