Lenin is such a tragic figure. So brilliant at taking and holding power, so bad at communist theory.

Tbh everything I said above could be applied to Mao as well. He had the genius insight that the path to power in China lay in a military struggle mobilizing the peasantry when everyone else in party leadership thought that was crazy and un-Marxist, but then when that insight translated into running China he did not do a good job and should have listened to his fellow party members.
