Vladimir Lenin's main goal was to rid Russia (and the world) of capitalism and replace it with socialism. Socialism, with the guidance of the Dictatorship of the proletariat, would, according to Marxian doctrine, eventually evolve into communism. Communism in the Marxian sense of a societal system could not be imposed without an intervening period of socialism. What Lenin and Stalin later created was not communism. And it was a pretty poor version of socialism as well.

The overthrow of the Tsar was not his main goal. That had already been done in the February Revolution of 1917. By the time Lenin orchestrated the October Revolution of 1917, the Provisional Government had been in place for eight months. If the overthrow of the Tsar had been Lenin's "main goal", he would not have overthrown the Provisional Government eight months after the Tsar had been overthrown.
