What was Lenin's ideology?

Question

ideology that helped in Bolshevik sucess

Answer 1

Marxism Leninism.

The doctrines of Marxism as applied by Lenin, a founder of the Soviet Union, to the building of Marxist nations. With Karl Marx, Lenin called for a classless society in which all means of production would be commonly owned (communism). Unlike some Marxists, however, Lenin stressed bold, revolutionary action and insisted that a strong Communist party would be needed in a Marxist nation to direct the efforts of the workers. Lenin also argued that capitalist nations resort to aggressive imperialist moves as they decline and that Marxist nations must therefore be prepared for war. Eventually, according to Marxism-Leninism, the rigid governmental structures that have characterized the former Soviet Union and other Marxist nations will not be necessary; the “withering away of the state” will occur. A major problem for Marxism-Leninism has been the difficulty of abandoning these governmental structures.

Answer 2

It was the "Communist Manifest" an ideology by Karl Marx and in part by Friedrich Engels. Maybe supported by another Marx work, The famous "Das Kapital". The idea was that the workers created the added value to the products and therefore they should be the beneficiaries of the profits made, not the owners of the production means. In clear text: Not Mr. Ford and the share holders should get the profits from the manufacturing but the workers who did not invest a single penny into the production. They succeeded only in 1917 - the Russian Revolution. The system itself was not successful, as it showed after the WW II and eventually 20 years ago as the whole fiction collapsed.
