    I could have sworn either Lenin or Marx wrote something about how their ideological background was heavily based on Proudhon and some earlier utopian socialists.

    The most important thing is that their ideology didn't really matter because they formed an entirely new thing that wasn't based on whatever ideology they subscribed to. Their primitive DotP was entirely a product of the circumstances of their revolution and its class character.

        A fantastic example of left unity and the fact that ideological differences tend to fade away in revolutionary moments as the working class realizes its own liberation.
