Revolutionary Action: Balancing Spontaneity and Bureaucracy

Abstract. This article examines the coexistence of spontaneism and bureaucratism in political action, drawing on the ideas of Marxist philosopher George Lukács. The article discusses Lukács’ views on the role of revolution in socialist transformation, and his understanding of the importance of spontaneism and bureaucratism in the revolutionary process.
