Some supported extending the NEP, as Lenin had suggested late in his life, or ending it and replacing it with a planned economy, a position Lenin held when he initiated NEP.

None of the leading figures of that era were rigid in economic policy, and all of them had supported the NEP previously.

The purpose of the NEP was to resolve food-shortage riots among the peasantry, and allowed measures of private enterprise, wherein the profit motive encouraged the peasants to harvest the crops required to feed the people of town and country ; and to economically re-establish the urban working class, who had lost many men ( workers ) to the counter-revolutionary Civil War.

Lenin had also been known to say about NEP: " We are taking one step backward to later take two steps forward ", suggesting that, though the NEP pointed to another direction, it would provide the economic conditions necessary for socialism eventually to evolve.

In spite of Lenin's opinion that the NEP should last several decades at least, until universal literacy was accomplished, in 1928, after only nine years of NEP, Lenin's successor, Stalin, eventually introduced full central planning ( although a variant of public planning had been the idea of the Left Opposition, which Stalin purged from the Party ), re-nationalized much of the economy, and from the late 1920s onwards introduced a policy of rapid industrialization.

On the other hand, Vladimir Lenin is quoted to have said " The NEP is in earnest and long-term " ( НЭП — это всерьез и надолго ), which has been used to surmise that if Lenin were to stay alive longer, NEP would have continued beyond 1929.

In spring 1918, during a brief period of economic liberalism prior to the introduction of war communism, and again during the New Economic Policy ( NEP ) of 1921, Lenin justified the introduction of state capitalism controlled politically by the dictatorship of the proletariat to further central control and develop the productive forces:
