Compare and contrast lenin's idealistic vision of a socialist state with the reality of communism in the new soviet union

Lenin was a Marxist, as were his successors. He had a vision of making the Soviet Union a country where everyone will be equal, earning the same amount of money, everything will be available to everyone, the country to be self-sustainable. While this may seem as a nice idea, in practice in turned the total opposite. The Soviet Union became one huge concentration camp where around 30 million people lost their lives because they had another political opinion, belong to certain ethnic group, and were people that had it better and succeeded in life. The people were poor, often suffering from malnutrition because of the misjudged planning of the high officials. The economy was not in good condition and was developing very slowly. The country was ruled by a dictator that used violence in order to sort all the problems.

so they can differentiate themselves from others as they saw themselves as the superior race. the star was basically a symbol that meant you are a less of a person than i am because of my race. the star was also degrading for those who had to wear it because they were aware of this and the nazis used the notion to make them feel less like a person.
