Soviet Question

The Soviet Question is a dispute amongst the British left-wing on whether the British left-wing should adopt and adhere to Russian-style Bolshevism, or to continue along an independent trajectory. On one side, supported by many members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB), advocates hold that it is necessary for the British socialist movement to adopt Bolshevist tendencies if revolutionary action is to succeed. On the other side, proponents of ideological independence hold that, while solidarity with the Russian Bolsheviks is necessary for victory, ideological homogeneity is not, and resultingly oppose any efforts by the CPGB and its allies to shift the rest of the movement towards a Russian ideological machine.
