Sorry, but I forgot where I saw this... it was something critical of the individual as unimportant, specifically attacking the cult of personality that was developing around himself. Could someone enlighten me about what he said? [analysis is good too, especially if it refers to other things Lenin said]

"All our lives we fought against exalting the individual, against the elevation of the single person, and long ago we were over and done with the business of a hero, and here it comes up again: the glorification of one personality. This is not good at all. I am just like everybody else." Lenin

I am just like everybody else.
Except, I deserve to be part of the ruling vanguard which will decide for everyone else whats good for them...<_<
Come on Lenin, he enjoyed it, when a man is given mythic stature it makes it much easier to gain power. And Lenin was all about power.

Orwell always had a good way with critiquing ML.

I was making some sort of joke I think... but it looks like it's failed miserably..
