Liquidationism was a Menshevik tendency in the RSDLP following the 1905 revolution that sought to abolish the revolutionary party and only work within the tsarist government. They later joined the August Bloc of Trotskyists and otzovists, leading the Bolsheviks to split from the RSDLP and form their own party in January 1912.[1]
