You mean like Lenin? It's not "some", it's the majority, and it's their leaders.
Yes for example Lenin (who was basically a counter-revolutionary as explained in Emma Goldman's book on the topic). But today's Marxist-Leninists are not all hardcore Lenin fanboys; it is a diverse group of people with different ideas and some misconceptions due to a long history of Soviet Union propaganda.
And then most tankies when I call them tankies:
Please call us something-Lenin. ....but sure, Lenin isn't among their masters. I don't buy into this.
