distinguish similarities and differentiation between Marxism and leninism
Answers
Answer:
Marxism-Leninism is based on Marx' theories as interpreted by Lenin. Lenin Revised aspects of historical materialism in order to justify his contention that socialist should not wait for the bourgeoisie to establish a mature capitalist economy before attempting a proletarian revolution and the establishment of a socialist state.
Because Marx authored a series of analyses of capitalism and a theory of history and possible transition to a future society called “communism” rather than any kind of political strategy outlining how to build communism.or what communism ought to be like, Lenin had to innovate in this area.
Marxism is a theory of society and history, not a coherent program for how to build communism. Lenin's answers to the question of how to build socialism in a society that, by Marx' logic was not actually ready for it, led to the emergence of Marxist-Leninism as a distinct theory of revolution and social transformation in “backward” societies.
Marxist-Leninism defies Marxist expectations that socialist societies can only emerge from.out of advanced capitalism. The failure of communism in backward countries could be read, if one so desired, as evidence that Marx was right and Lenin was incorrect in his revision, or, of course, it could also very probably mean that Marx' historical.materialism is itself an incorrect theory.
