Ends means result or purpose, depending on context. When looking objectively at something that's said and done, it's looking at the result. When you're trying to decide the proper course of action, it means what you predict— your purpose. Everyone's judgment is flawed (like Lenin's). All we can do, really, is cautiously act on our judgment while trying as we can to keep it grounded in reality.
