Lenin betrayed the revolution. You mention the banning of the political parties. While it's true that they "took up arms against Sovnarkom", you're leaving out the part where Lenin used Sovnarkom to coup the newly elected government because his party didn't win.

Again, Lenin was flat out wrong. But I don't think he ever actually cared about Russia ever reaching the true Marxist communist utopia. Lenin cared about power first and foremost.

He built up that dictatorship, and then handed it over to a monster.
