Soviet Communism was a political and economic system that emerged in the early 20th century, primarily under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin and later Joseph Stalin. It aimed to create a classless society by abolishing private property and establishing state control over the economy. The government owned all means of production, and resources were distributed according to need rather than profit. The ideology was based on the ideas of Karl Marx, who envisioned a society where workers would unite to overthrow capitalism. In practice, Soviet Communism led to significant industrialization and social changes, but it also resulted in political repression, widespread censorship, and economic challenges.
