I'm slowly re-reading what Lenin wrote about members and leadership, particularly looking for the notion of a "narrow leadership" directing masses of party members. Regardless, that policy is certainly not one that the Bolsheviks followed post 1917 when they opened their doors to masses and integrated it with the state apparatus.
