Why did marx's cummunist ideas appeal to most Russians?

Answer 1

Marx's ideas appealed to most Russians because they were tired of the way their government worked. They felt like there was too much inequality in society and Marx's ideas are mainly based around a classless society where everyone is equal. There is no one with greater wealth than you, no one more poor than you, no one with a better job, with more clothes, a better house, etc. Everyone is supposed to be the same, but this idea went terribly corrupt when everyone's lives became difficult, equal...equally terrible. EVERYONE was hungry and EVERYONE was poor.

Answer 2

Marx's Communist ideas did not appeal to most Russians. In the 1920 elections 20% of the population voted for the Communists. Lenin seized control of the government and used that 20% to govern Russia. From then on, Russia was ruled by the Communists. The 1920 election was the only fair election Russia ever had before the 1990s. Many in Russia hated the Communist ideas. Stalin commented on the fact that so many Russians at first fought so hard at first for Germany and then for Russia. "They are not fighting for the system. They are fighting for the lesser of two evils." Stalin knew the people hated Communism.

Another viewpoint:

Because in hard times, people look to find fault outside themselves, and want to find some source that they can blame all their problems on. This has happened throughout history. Marx's ideas were used to cast the blame for the hard economic times on the upper class. The people would then rally around the idea of removing the elite from society and putting everyone on the same level (class envy).

Answer 3

Marx's communist ideas appealed to many Russians because they promised to address the inequality and hardships faced by the working class under the tsarist regime. The ideas of class struggle and the establishment of a classless society resonated with those who felt oppressed and marginalized. Additionally, the promise of a fairer and more just society under communism offered hope for a better future to many Russians.
