What is the difference between Lenin-style communism, socialism and Marxism?
Socialism is a form of economy, Communism is a form of government. Communism embraces the socialist economic system of complete control of business in the hands of the government. The government in theory is supposed to be equal to that of the average worker, however anytime you give power to one individual over another, they tend to abuse it, therefore the reason why Communism frequently results in tyranny, oppression and murder.
