In the view of Karl Marx, the last stage of human history would be "communism". This was an utopian world where there would be no classes or need to have a government. All would contribute as best they could and obtain what they needed to live properly. The USSR, in Lenin's view was a step in that direction.

Who was associated with communism?
Many people were (and still are)associated with communism. Karl Marx invented the concept, and is seen as the father of communism. Vladimir Lenin was head of the party of revolutionaries that brought the system to Russian government. Trotsky was responsible for his army, the Red Guards. Stalin took over the government (against Lenin's wishes) and his successor was Kruschev.
What was the result of Lenin's new economic policy?
Lenin's NEP never did lead to communism. In fact, the NEP was a controversial return to capitalism in the areas of agriculture and small businesses. In that respect, it was a retreat from socialism and the anticipated march toward communism. Lenin introduced it as a temporary measure to bolster a failing economy, which threatened to lead to another revolution which would have swept him and the Bolsheviks out of power for exactly the same reasons the Tsar and then the Provisional Government were swept out of power.
Do you agree that Lenin had succeeded in establishing a communist regime in the USSR by the time of his death in 1924?

How was Lenin views of communism different from Marx's theorie?
Unlike Marx, Lenin believed in a small, controlling central government. In this regard, his "people's commissariat" eventually adopted the classic autocratic form of government, ironically one of the major flaws that Marx found with capitalism. Lenin also believed that Russia was a "special case" and could skip over both the Capitalist and Socialist systems, jumping directly from Feudalism to Communism. This was what differentiated Lenin's Bolshevik party from the Menshevik party that said that Marx's four "stages of history" were required everywhere to reach Communism.
How have communist leaders misused Karl Marx's ideas?
Vladimir Lenin advanced the idea of communism to the people of Russia promising them that they would be better off under a communist regime than under the Czarist regime. The revolution was driven by political forces, not by the economic ones that Marx theorized about. Lenin did not abolish state government although Marx saw communism as a society without a government or even a need for one. After Lenin, Stalin made the government even more powerful and oppressive than had been the Czarist regime. Lenin and Stalin sold communism to the Russian people, however after the Russian people paid the price for that communism, neither Lenin nor Stalin delivered the promised product.
