The main objective of this article is to find the actual subject of the classical marxist revolution. The paper starts with the analysis and critics of the modern views on the process of revolution and its effects. Currently, critical theory depicts the project of socialism/communism in completely utopist manner, the project of workers revolution is integrated with the project of total emancipation of the women, nature and everything. The criticism of this approach is also the criticism of operaist and anarchist belief in the naturally obtained revolutionary consciousness of proletariat. Showing differences in the ideological identities between different parts of proletariat I show the global worker class as totally divided between bourgeois and proletarian ideologies. The class struggle within workers class is a tool of bourgeois and its colonialism. Next, pointing at Lenin’s concept of imperialism as the current stage of capitalism I try to describe some most important, necessary conditions for the revolution to occur and to indicate the exact moment of the revolutionary outbreak.
