Marxism-Leninism

Marxism-Leninism is a political ideology that combines the ideas of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin. It advocates for the working class to overthrow capitalism and establish a socialist state, where the means of production are owned collectively. Lenin emphasized a vanguard party to guide this revolution and ensure the establishment of a dictatorship of the proletariat, which aims to dismantle class structures. The ultimate goal is to achieve a classless, stateless society called communism. This ideology influenced many 20th-century socialist movements and governments, notably in the Soviet Union and other communist states.
