??
is Leninism any different from Marxism or are they the same thing?

[yuriandropov]

the fundamentals are the same but the main difference is that leninism goes into the specifics of the workers revolution and how to achieve it. so essentially, if a government is marxist-leninist, it applies leninist policies on how to get into power, and marxist qualities to govern the country.

Leninism stresses a popular revolution and a Dictatorship of the Proletariat during the first stages of a Marxist society.
