Did they need to be murdered? What was the purpose?
Was Communism better than Monarchism for the Russian people, or the world?
It depends.
From the perspective of Communists who did not want to see the return of a Russian Tsar, then yes, you have to end the family line. See history for numerous cases of what happens when you fail to take out rival claimants to the throne.
From the perspective of somebody that abhors the dehumanisation that Communism spreads wherever it is put into practice, the answer is No. The murder of those beautiful girls set a precedent of bloodshed.

okay here's a question. Whould the Russian Revelution turn out far differently if the Romanovs lived, maybe fled abroard? Would Comunism be snipped at the bud?

They were murdered because they were anti-semitic.

They "needed" to be murdered for communism to take over. That being said, communism was much worse for both the world and the Russian people.

No it wouldn't have mattered at all. By the time Nicholas abdicated he realized Russia was gone and he wanted to live a solitary life.
Also the general attitude in Russia at the time was an anxiety and excitement for change. It was bound to happen.

This anon summed it up nicely. The Bolsheviks believed they were on the right side of history, which justified their actions.
