Have you studied their ideas? Because most experts don't think Lenin was evil at all compared to Jospeh Stalin - who even Lenin himself thought was totally power-hungry and a betrayer of the revolution's hopes.

Only when forced to during college. I'm so not interested in dictators, particularly those who espoused either communism OR socialism.

Lenin was hardly even a dictator. He led to revolution to overthrow THE dictators - The Czars. But he died before achieving many of his goals, and his reputation was smeared by Stalin's followers.

I don't mean to sound like some Communist sympathizer - But I really think Lenin has been unfairly portrayed by most historians.
