Unlike Marx, Lenin believed in a small, controlling central government. In this regard, his "people's commissariat" eventually adopted the classic autocratic form of government, ironically one of the major flaws that Marx found with capitalism.

Lenin also believed that Russia was a "special case" and could skip over both the Capitalist and Socialist systems, jumping directly from Feudalism to Communism. This was what differentiated Lenin's Bolshevik party from the Menshevik party that said that Marx's four "stages of history" were required everywhere to reach Communism.

How was Lenins and view of communism different from Marxs theories?

Lenin's view of communism differed from Marx's theories primarily in his belief in the necessity of a vanguard party to lead the proletariat revolution, whereas Marx envisioned a more spontaneous uprising of the working class. Lenin emphasized the importance of a centralized, disciplined party to guide the revolution and maintain control during the transition to socialism. Additionally, while Marx focused on the eventual withering away of the state, Lenin believed that a strong state was essential for defending the revolution and achieving a socialist society. This pragmatic approach marked a significant departure from Marx's more theoretical framework.

What were 3 criticisms of Karl marxs theory of Communism?

1. It failed to explain how money gets that way - which Henry Miller later explained in his classic essay, "Money And How It Gets That Way." 2. It did not take into account the fact that the majority of people are greedy, illiterate slack-jawed ridge runners with the moral instincts of rutting bandicoots, and that consequently Communism was bound to fail because there would always be Communist bosses (Commissars) who would skim the cream off everything and treat the workers like yellow dogs - treat them in fact worse than the Czar did. 3. There were no jokes or illustrations in it, and no dirty parts.
