how exactly did Lenin practice Marxism from what i have heard he was very unorthodox with marx and didnt even get his infomation from Marx's writings but from current Russian Revolutionaries. I mean Stalin and Mao both probally concidered themselves "Marxist" what made Lenins practice different?

Lenin was Marxist. Stalin cosidered himself marxist-leninist. Mao wasn't marxist, nor leninist.

Lenin had developed Marx's theory, added a lot of new ideas and conributed a lot to it's further development. Lenin created the totally new theory of the socialist revolution.

If you are interested , I would like to advise you to read my thread " Lenin's contribution to the Marxism." You can find it here, in the "Theory".

It is a blatant lie!

It was the time when the revolution needed to protect itself. VChK ( later KGB) was organized in order to fight counter-revolution. The head of the VChK Felix Dzerzhinsky struggled against counter-revolutionists and the espionage of the foreign capitalist countries, together with the other comrades. It was the time of no MERCY to the renegades and traitors. All of them were oppressed and killed. And it was the right policy.

After the time ,when counter-revolutionary elements had been finally destroyed Lenin ordered to change the state policy and to start the peaceful constructive work of the socialist building.
