The question on Marxism wasnt as bad as it looked. I may be the only person in the world that did it...
I themed my paragraphs as 1) Lenin and the bolsheviks, eg April Theses, 'peace bread and land' and the marxist ideals that he bought'
2) economic hardship within the peasantry and workers, meaning they had little choice but to turn to marxism.
3) Marxist literature eg role of Tchaicovsky circle and Liberals eg Plekhanov.
My main judgement was that Lenin simply acting on existing Marxist influence, and the emergence was down to Literature and Liberals. I then said it grew in popularity because of the peasant and worker hardship.
Im not sure it was a great way to answer it, but I just hated the look of the society question and avoided at all costs.
