The largest departure Lenin made from classical Marxism was based on the plain and simple error Marx and Engels made that revolution would need to come from within heavily-developed states. This is unilinear thinking, and in reality the capitalists were able to export immiseration to the third world to give concessions to the domestic proletariat and reduce the (still severe) stratification enough to fend off revolution.
