What were vladimir lenin's views?

Answer 1

Lenin claimed to follow Marx’s ideas, but in fact he distorted these. Lenin did not believe that workers could liberate themselves, so he though they needed to be led by a vanguard (himself and others). What he set up in Russia was state capitalism, not Communism.

Answer 2

Marxism, Communism

Lenin was not a true Marxist in at least one sense. Marx believed the industrialized nations would experience an economic revolution of proletariat overthrowing the bourgeoisie, then instituting a political system he called a Dictatorship of the proletariat in order to ensure that all vestiges of capitalism were wiped out. Lenin believed that the political system had to be overthrown first, then impose the new economic system on society.

With Marx, the revolution would be economic, workers against the owners of the factories. With Lenin, the revolution would be political with the powerless people against the ruling class. After Marx's revolution, the workers would set up the appropriate form of government. After Lenin's revolution, new government would set up the appropriate economic system.

Answer 3

Lenin believed in the dictatorship of the proletariat, led by the Communist party. His beliefs stem from Marxism, which he interpreted, revised and further developed in the context of the agrarian Russian Empire (as opposed to the industrialized Europe). His beliefs are referred to summarily as Leninism. Marxism-Leninism was the official ideology of the USSR until its decline and dissolution in 1991.

Answer 4

He was part of the Bolshevik party.

At first Lenin was a member of the Russian Social Democratic Party, a Marxist party. Then he led the Bolshevik faction of that party and eventually split that faction off from the RSDP to become the Bolshevik Party. After the October Russian Revolution, all other political parties were banned and the Bolshevik Party was re-named the Communist Party.

Answer 6

Lenin was the Russian premier who combined his ideas with that of the Marxist theory. He essentially wanted to create a democratic dictatorship.
