Lenin's dissolution of the Constituent Assembly:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lenin's dissolution of the Constituent Assembly in January 1918 was indeed a repudiation of majority rule, as it dismissed the results of a democratically elected body. It was also an affirmation of "class rule," specifically the rule of the proletariat or working class, over the bourgeoisie or capitalist class. This act marked the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat, a key concept in Marxist-Leninist ideology where the state is supposed to be run by and for the working class.
