Did the Bolsheviks succeed in creating a stateless society in the Russian Revolution?
The Bolshevik revolution established a “dictatorship of the proletariat” under Vladimir Lenin, however a socialist society was never created, much less a stateless. Lenin did carry through on his promises such as reducing the working hours of the day and ending Russia’s involvement in World War I. However, his new society never progressed beyond that point. Marxism says that a socialist society must be free and democratic, Lenin’s was neither, he banned any political opposition and fixed all election. When Lenin died in 1924, the Soviet Union was taken over by Josef Stalin, who implemented one of the most heinous and oppresive regimes known to man. The leaders that followed Stalin were unable to follow their own Marxism.
