Do you mean we need a religion to counter capitalism?

That fell into the same trap you described. They had faith that the vanguard state would wither.

Who do you mean by they? And can you develop?

If they follow principles without critical thinking, then yes they have a faith and transform their movement into a religion. Yet Lenin's principles are to call for critics, to evaluate situations rationally and to reject dogmatism. So following this principles dogmatically is a bit ironic...

Yet I haven't met anyone claiming being a vanguard yet, or they haven't told me much about their view on Lenin's thoughts.
