I agree with the sentiment on its own, but Lenin didn't exactly do a very good job of building anything long term anti-capitalist. If anything, Soviet Union just devolved into state-flavored capitalism very quickly.
That's true of any group that has too much power. Right now in the USA we have a bunch of nuts idolizing a dictator. They say they want to return American freedoms while at the same time they want to take away your rights.
They'll keep pretending that Biden stuck to his word and had the interests of the citizens at heart past the point of the initial Covid vaccinations, because he became a stock market warlord pretty shortly afterwards.
