Part 12/ of Marxism-Leninism study guide:
•The revolution must be initiated through a planned insurrection, rather than a spontaneous uprising, to seize power swiftly and effectively (e.g., The Bolshevik Revolution of 1917).
•After the overthrow of capitalism, a transitional state (the dictatorship of the proletariat) must be established to suppress the former ruling class and dismantle capitalist structures.
