Lets say Lenin manages to live past 1924, or he dies but Stalin is marginalized and rendered incapable of assuming any significant role in the post-Lenin government. In any event, the "New Economic Plan" is put into full swing, as opposed to the Five Year Plans.Could it have worked in the long term? Would the USSR have become industrialized enough that it could weather WW2 (assuming it isn't butterflied away somehow) and beyond?
