The correct answer here would be Vladimir Lenin, leader of the Bolshevik Revolution that brought communism to power in Russia and established the Soviet Union. Lenin's "New Economic Policy" serves as an example of central planning to bring everything under the central government's control.
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels were the philosophical founders of communist ideas back in the 19th century.
Josef Stalin was the totalitarian leader that took over the communist leadership in the USSR after Lenin's death.
The founding fathers believed that the government should be formed to protect all citizen's rights and not just the higher class rights.
