Abstract: Marx's socialism conceives of a society of free producers excluding private property in the means of production, commodity relations, wage labor and state. Lenin's socialism, while excluding commodity production, does not entirely eliminate wage labor and is based on state ownership of the means of production, identified with social ownership. Lenin's socialism thus turns out to be very different from Marx's emancipatory project of Association.
