Do you "follow" Lenin?


"Do not copy our tactics, but analyse the reasons for their peculiar features, the conditions that gave rise to them, and their results; go beyond the letter, and apply the spirit, the essence and the lessons of the 1917-21 experience."
— Lenin, "To the Comrades Communists of Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Daghestan, and the Mountaineer Republic" (1921)

I was asked the other day if I "follow" Lenin. I was stuck for an easy answer. This is the best answer there is, I think.
