And Lenin certainly was a tyrant. Not in the same mass-murdering league as Stalin or Mao, but a tyrant nonetheless. Stuff like the red terror and the checka make for a pretty pretty huge "except". He's the one responsible for the centralized one-party state, wich is what enabled a dictator like Stalin in the first place.
