    I disagree that he ever did anything approaching Marxism. His writings and his actions are pretty distant from one another.

      Well I would disagree with that assertion. He did a fine work of applying Marxism to the conditions of Russia at the time, although he didn’t live too long so we can’t really conclude where he would have gone with it. Read ‘State and Revolution’ it clearly outlines how Lenin’s ideas and how they fit perfectly within Marxism.
