I imagine you are thinking of the Purges (1935-38), but throughout the period from about 1928 till his death in 1953 Stalin imposed his ideas by force.

Lenin had adapted Marx's vision of how communism would develop to fit the Russian situation adn Mao did the same to Leninism.

Marx distrusted the peasantry, thinking them as inherently conservative.

Because Russia was still a largely rural, peasant based economy in 1917 Lenin said that the Workers would ally with the peasants - and guide them towards a revolutionary communist class consciousness.

Mao further adapted this idea, as China had not industrialised at all when he was formulating his ideas. Mao turned Marxism on its head, claiming that the peasants could be the driving force behind the revolution. He claimed that as the peasants worked for landowners and engaged in capitalist activities at the markets - then they were, in effect, a rural revolutionary class.

Imperialism is a policy and involves a big nation conquering smaller nations to increase its wealth and power. Communism is a form of government, wherein everyone is equal, no true head of government exists, and everyone serves to help one another, instead of selling each other goods with economic greed in mind. Communism has never existed in this true form on a large scale, as most attempts have ended with a dictator at the top. Imperialism, on the other hand, was rampant for centuries, mostly at the hands of Spain and Britain.

Vladimir Lenin

Russian Communism (the Soviet Union) is a Traditional Communist State and Vietnamese Communism (People's Republic of Vietnam) is a Leninist Communist State.

Traditional Communist States: Traditional Communism requires an autocratic government ruled by the Communist Party, but primarily guided by individual politicians. The government is required to collectivize private property and redistribute wealth. Stalin's Soviet Union and Cuba are often seen as examples of traditional communism.

Leninist Communist States: China and Vietnam are Leninist Communist States. Leninist Communism is the political theory that a single party called the Communist Party rules the government and governs all affairs as opposed to individual politicians. Although the single party in a Leninist Communist State is the the Communist Party, the party need not practice Communist political theory. In both China and Vietnam, there is a state-directed, right-wing economic and political theory.

America never had a war against communism; there was however a thing called the cold war, which made an awful lot of American industrialists very rich. And was also used as an excuse to erode the freedoms and rights that were once taken for granted. This has now been replaced by the so-called war on terror.

Red Terror Campaign

No it wasn't. Communism wasn't even an issue when WW1 broke out.

At first, the new nation was called the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic. In 1924 it was changed to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the USSR.

Since when? The Communist party is still a force in French politics, and has been since its foundation.

Economic activities in the communist system is controled by the public in the sense that the government tries to control all economic activities by setting up different organizations and sectors in order to provide social-economic demands to the public or citizen.

Joseph Stalin was the dictator of Russia.

Joseph Stalin ended Lenin's New Economic Policy in 1929 because he instituted his own economic plan called the Five Year Plan. The three Five Year Plans were designed to increase Russia's industrial capacity turning the country from an agrarian economy to an industrial one. Stalin felt this was necessary in order to enable the Soviet Union to compete with the West economically. In addition, Stalin and other high ranking members of the Communist Party never agreed with Lenin's reintroduction of capitalism in certain areas of the economy. The Five Year Plans eliminated this retreat from communism to capitalism while at the same time strengthening Soviet industry.

The SOVIET UNION split into fifteen republics in 1991 when the Communist government in Moscow was unable to hold onto power.

He established the NEP aka New Economic Policy to encourage production- workers where allowed to keep or sell what they grew.

No one did. The official version is that Lenin died in 1924 of natural causes after suffering a series of three strokes.

Bolsheviks are another name for Communists. Actually Bolsheviks was their name prior to March 1918 when they changed it to Communists.

Das Kapital was written by Karl Marx, and its main idea was that exploitation of labor is the driving force of the capitalist economic system. The Communist Manifesto was written by Marx and Friedrich Engels some years earlier, and critiques capitalism more broadly.

This probably refers to the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, a rather humiliating treaty, to which Lenin had to agree in order to end Russia's involvement in World War I with Germany.
