What type of revolutionary party did Lenin favour?

Correct answer: A small disciplined party of revolutionaries

Option B is correct. Lenin believed that a successful revolution required a committed group of professional and active revolutionaries rather than a loosely organised mass association with very open membership. Such a party would maintain discipline, follow a common political line and work continuously among workers to prepare for revolutionary change. This organisational model became a major feature of Bolshevism. A landlords’ council and a committee of royal advisers represented privileged or monarchical interests, which Lenin opposed. The important distinction is not simply that the party should be large or small, but that it should be tightly organised, politically committed and disciplined enough to lead a revolution.
