Why was Russia turned into a single party?

Russia was turned into a single political party system so that there would be no political opposition to what Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks proposed to do for Russia after they took over the government in the October Revolution of 1917. At the time of the takeover there were several political parties, most of them larger then the Bolshevik Party. There were the Mensheviks, the Social Revolutionaries and the KaDets to name a few. They all had differing points of view on how the new Russia was to be run. The Bolsheviks had a following of a little over 1 million members in a country with an estimated 147 million people. Even Lenin knew they were a drop in the bucket and could be removed from power if the other political parties were able to muster the votes. In order to prevent organized opposition to the Bolshevik plans, Lenin abolished all other political parties, especially the other Marxist/Communist ones. Later on, Lenin even forbade differences of opinion within the Bolshevik Party itself where those opinions were contrary to his beliefs.
