Christiane Joseph · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Lenin argued in his April Theses that the merger of bourgeois and proletarian revolutions had become possible due to wartime chaos. He argued that this could enable a quick transition to Bolshevik rule. This view contrasted with the traditional Marxist belief that a bourgeois revolution had to come before a proletarian revolution. Lenin believed that the Bolsheviks could seize power immediately, even though Russia had not yet experienced a bourgeois revolution.
