implementation in reality in the true sense was majorly seen after the Russian revolution of NUMBER_TOKEN. In Russia, communist workers together overthrew the Russian monarch who used to be called the Czar at that time. And their leader Lenin for the first time implemented communist ideas on a big scale. Lenin took some revolutionary steps for his time. The human rights of the labourers were recognized. The working week was limited to NUMBER_TOKEN hours per day and NUMBER_TOKEN days a week. Prior to this, workers worked for NUMBER_TOKEN, NUMBER_TOKEN, NUMBER_TOKEN hours in the factories. But Lenin first introduced the NUMBER_TOKENhours and NUMBER_TOKEN days which is quite common in the world today. Everyone works Monday to Friday for NUMBER_TOKEN hours per day. Women were introduced to education. For farming, the land was taken away from rich landowners and redistributed amongst the farmers. The factories were nationalised they were taken under the control of the government. But if you remember, the original ideas, written in the communist manifesto, it wasn’t written that the government will control everything rather it said that the public will control everything. So, you can say that the communism implemented by Lenin was a little different from ideas thought out by Marx. Now think about it friends, if such big steps will be taken in such a big country such as the Soviet Union it isn’t possible that every person living there would agree to it. Some people will say that what the government is doing, we disagree with it. Or disagree with the way of doing it. But Lenin believed that what he was doing was an absolute right. He did not have the ability to take criticism. For this reason, he banned the rest of all political parties and established a one-party state. In fact, a state where it was not allowed to criticise the party. Secret police used to spy on the people and if anyone criticised the government, he was put in jail. Any person opposing communism or suspected to have spoken against used to be jailed, deported, or executed. So, this Marxist-Leninist political structure is called Soviet Communism. Today, most people associate Communism with this Soviet Communism. But obviously, every Communist did not agree with this Leninism. There was a very famous Polish communist Rosa Luxembourg who was strictly against Leninism. She used to Libertarian Marxism. Such a Marxism philosophy where people are given freedom of speech. They are given their freedom. But anyway, Lenin died in NUMBER_TOKEN. After him, came Stalin who implemented his own ideas of communism which were worse than Lenin. Stalin’s communist ideology went farther away from the Marxist ideology. Stalin tried to increase the output of the factories. For that, he tried to make the labourers work more and the workers started working in the same conditions that Marx had initially mentioned. The only difference was that this time, the factory owners were not any rich business owners but rather the government. Soviet Union government kept their workers in the same bad conditions and the economic conditions were so bad that millions of people died due to famine and hunger. Because of this, many people call Stalin’s ideology, State Capitalism. It doesn’t have much to do with communism rather it was a structure of capitalism that was state-controlled. After this, came Mao. His communist ideology was much more extreme
