In this talk at a 2017 day school on the Russian Revolution, Daniel Morley of the Socialist Appeal editorial board discusses the question of revolutionary insurrection, examining how Marxists approach the question of the seizure of power.

Daniel looks, in particular, at the example of the October Revolution, which took place 100 years ago, when the Bolsheviks led the Russian masses in the insurrection that took place on the evening of 7th November 1917 (new calendar).
