Lenin is massively over-rated. Personally, I ignore what he said, which wasn't much.

As to democratic communism, call back in 500 years. If there are still homo sapiens around, they'll tell you whether or not it is possible.

Personally, I can't imagine a human society that could dispense with politics. Reality is just too messy and complex, and some degree of selfishness is indeed wired into our reality, IMHO.
