Este Texto de Lénin de que o Paulo faz referencia , não oferece dúvidas de que ele estimava ,sem dogmatismo, ser positiva a experiencia cooperativista e que , na esteira de Marx releva o inevitável enquadramento politico e social : a conquista e detenção do poder político a dinâmica da luta de classes e o controlo do Estado.
Outro aspecto que sabemos é que Lénin defendeu ,mas não poude observar as consequencias dos recuos provocados pela "Nova Politica Económica", tão pouco estudada e cujas ilacções provocaram grandes estragos no processo revolucionário bolchevique.
