Abstract
A distinctly Marxist-Leninist ethics is a relatively recent phenomenon. Hitherto, the sufficient and necessary code of conduct of the Communist was held to be Lenin’s statement that good and moral is that which serves to destroy the old society of exploiters and to establish the new society. The newer developments are a result of the calls of recent Party Congresses for the education of the ‘new Soviet man’ who is the builder of Communism: the new morality is to serve this purpose.
