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 was Lenins original view toward property ownership?
Lenin's view toward property ownership was that it had to be abolished if capitalism were to be eliminated and socialism (and later communism) successfully imposed on the society. As Karl Marx had said the essence of capitalism is the private ownership of property. Abolish private ownership of property and you abolish capitalism. One of the very first things Lenin did after the Revolution was to abolish the private ownership of property and vest it in the state.
Why did people hate Lenin?
Because they have been brainwashed into thinking communism is bad and entails a dictatorship. They have been led to believe that Stalin=communism, when in fact Lenin wanted Stalin to be removed from his position (Lenins Testament) and wanted Trotsky to succeed him.
