Lenin's New Economic Policy: A Study of Short and Long Term Viability

The new economic policy formulated by Vladimir Lenin in 1922 was regarded as a necessary evil to maintain the power of the Soviets. Most of the historians agree with Lenin's evaluation and believe that if the entire Soviet economy does not change it will collapse, but there are many ideas about the true effectiveness of the new economic policy. In this article we will explore the progress of the new economic policy, the various views of the Bolshevik leader, and the effectiveness of the free market policy adopted by these socialist leaders.

From the rejection of Western style fashion in Bolshevik to Vladimir Lenin's new short-lived economic policy, from constitutionalism to Joseph Stalin's red fascism, behind-the-scenes iron has long been associated with invisible contours and soft colors. This concept is not completely wrong, but it can not capture the complete tailoring history of Russia with multiple iterations of Communism. From 1921 to 1928, Lenin's New Economic Policy (NEP) returned land that was forcibly deprived from the Soviet agricultural class during the First World War and allowed to sell it while paying taxes to the state did. In addition to agriculture and retail revival, the privatization of this land has created a new "new economy" - a young entrepreneur who used private trade to create a wealth network that seems to be very close to capitalism It was.

The proposed argument indicates that Lenin's new economic policy proves that the purpose of Leninism is not complete control of the government. However, the new economic policy was formulated only when Lenin became an absolutely necessary condition for the existence of Russia, but it was still a temporary measure before returning to state capitalism. Despite the temporary nature of the new economic policy, many members of the Communist Party still believe that it deviates too dramatically from the doctrine of Leninism. When Stalin abandoned the new economic policy, he did not abandon a part of Leninism. Instead, he bans a policy that even Lenin himself is not going to be a permanent policy, and many believe it is a policy that violates the objectives of Leninists (Wood, pp. 23-26).

Large scale confusion threatened the Soviet government. As a result, Lenin developed his new economic policy. It was a temporary retreat of the complete nationalization of war communism. The new economic policy created a more free market-oriented economic system. "Free market and capitalism are dominated by the state" Lenin recovered from the stroke from the end of 1922 to the beginning of 1923, and many predictive articles on power corruption were proposed in the Communist Party. These documents, also known as Lenin's "will" proposes to change the political system of the Soviet, and encourages Stalin to be removed from his position.
