"the idea of Lenin is idealistically romantic and all"

I don't think so at all. As a leftist, I'm aware of the intolerable decisions Lenin has made. Whether Marx nor Lenin were idealists in any way. Even Lennon wasn't an idealist: Imagine is among the most misunderstood works of art in the history of mankind. But Marx is in a way absent from history and practise, although he advocated the commune in Paris.
As a leftist, Lenin is a pain in the ass for me.
It's so easy for leftists - like me - to sit on their desktops and tell other people, what to do or what they should have done or what's unbearable.
ahh too bad Bush, Cheney and Pinochet were not wrong????

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see,
