Abstract

Throughout history, many have reasoned that the success of the 1917 Russian Revolution may be best attributed to Lenin’s forcefulness. Yet, the lack of force and violence across Marx’s writings solicit the question: what prompted him to act as such? This paper will argue that Lenin’s decisive attitude towards the 1917 revolution stem from his analysis of the Paris Commune’s failures, namely, its wavering aims, reluctance to violence, and unconsolidated support.
