What was Lenin's compromise between the ideas of capitalism and communism?

Lenin's New Economic Policy was a temporary measure instituted in order to rebuild the Russian economy. It permitted peasant farmers to grow crops for personal profit and permitted small businesses, typically those with fewer than 10 employees, to operate for profit. After years of "war communism" during the Russian Civil War, the Russian economy was worse off than it had been under the final years of the Tsarist regime. Many hard-line Bolsheviks felt this was capitulating to capitalism but Lenin stated it was simply taking two steps forward and one back.

What is the difference between the theory of communism and the practice of communism?

To put things simply: The theory of communism is really Marxism. Marxists believe that- Human history is the history of class struggles there are two classes of capitalist society - Bourgeoisie - Proletariat there are four stages of Human history - Feudalism - Capitalism - Dictatorship of the Proletariat - Communism The exploited proletariat will revolt against the bourgeoisie creating a strong centralised government. Eventually this dictatorship will 'wither away,' creating a society without classes. Communism in practice is what happens when the theory of communism is attempted. In the Soviet Union when communism was put into practice Marxist ideas were altered an changed. Some major changes were- Marx wanted party leaders to be responsible for members. Lenin felt obliged to insist on loyalty. The bureaucracy became more powerful, retaining many privileges. Ideas of democracy were abandoned Lenin had changed Marxism into policy in which the state imposed socialism by force. Marx's theory of economic determinism was abandoned. Freedom was suppressed
