Way to read up on what you're talking about. Such as what Marx, who never considered himself to be anything else than a philosopher, actually said. He was joined by Engels, who, for some reason is hardly mentioned. Son of an industrial baron. The both of them were apalled by what industrialization and unchained capitalism had brought over Europe. And that's where the idea originally came from. The workers actually earning a share of what they produce was at it's very bottom. Marx, by the way, fought in the 1848/49 revolutions. He certainly didn't want less but more liberties for the peoples.
The only (half) truth lies in who initially funded Lenin and made it possible to reach Russia in 1917. But what you're missing, since you're only scratching the surface, is what made Lenin tick. For that you would have to have at least some knowledge of his biography and what influenced him.
