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.
