It could be expected that the Bolshevik Party would run into problems with both wings of the Marxist factions involved with the October Revolution. Lenin could not afford to have his policies questioned or altered by the revolutionary movement. He was therefore concerned with two main obstacles. One was the former Provisional government leaders that Lenin had not already imprisoned or executed. The even more dangerous opposition came for avid Marxists in the Bolshevik Party or other left wing extremists. Lenin took the opportunity of the Tenth Party Congress of 1921 to declare any forms of democracy held by people within the revolutionary movement to be expelled from the Bolshevik Party. By 1921, anyone not considered to be a loyalist to Lenin was in trouble. All factionalism within the Soviet Union was ended.
In later years, after Lenin's death, Joseph Stalin would cite Lenin's policies as Stalin's basis to curb any dissent within the Communist Party. Generally speaking, Stalin's method of "curbing" was either prison or execution.
