Best Answer

After the death of Vladimir Lenin, Marxism-Leninism was the official ideology of the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc, and became the basis for other Communist state ideologies, including Maoism.

Marxism-Leninism involves a synthesis of orthodox Marxist ideas, such as historical materialism, class struggle, and Marxian economics; with Leninism, the political practice of the single-party state, Vanguard party, democratic centralism, and the economic theory of Imperialism. Marxism-Leninism also rejects keys elements of classical Marxism, such as spontaneous revolution and the emergence of socialism from the natural decay of capitalism.

Leninism is a body of political theory for a democratic organization of the revolutionary vanguard party and the achievement of a direct democracy via the Dictatorship of the proletariat as the prelude to socialism. Lenin argued that a realized vanguard party would fight and lead the political independence of the working class. This party would provide political education, leadership, and support necessary to depose of capitalism.

The theory that workers cannot emancipate themselves and so need to be led by a vanguard of revolutionaries. This is an anti-democratic and anti-working class attitude, and it led to the state capitalist dictatorship of the USSR.

There is no such thing. Marx argued that workers have to liberate themselves, while Lenin advocated a vanguard of leaders such as himself.
