Well I think the point is talking about not Lenin as Lenin in 1906 or
1920, but what a "Lenin" might be like today - someone who could take
Marxism and make a practical transformative politics out of it. I
suspect that were Lenin alive today, he'd look at your average
Leninist formation and say, "I am not a Leninist."
