Lenin
3 Answers
Why was it necessary for Lenin to use War Communism in the first few years of the Bolsheviks being in power? I'm still a little confused because War Communism is more extreme than Communism. I realise Lenin wanted a 'classless society' but surely War Communism only heightened poverty and famine within the countryside? What was his logic? I have a feeling I will need to cover this in my next essay so if I can understand it a bit better then it will help. TIA
