Is there a good Lenin compilation? I read the one thing he has about the State (I have brain damage from sleep deprivation so I don't even remember if it was State and Rev) but I'm always amazed at how clever and insightful the snippets I see are
Hmm. I think his main writings are so straightforward and of reasonable length that I'd recommend those instead. State and Rev, What Is To Be Done, Imperialism: The Highest State of Capitalism, and of course this essay, Left-Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder.
He was indeed highly insightful, particularly as someone who led an organized revolution. I think some of the best theory building one can do is to use these experiences and insights as a template that you then criticize and update based on salient differences between modern + local conditions and those of Tsarist Russia, Humiliated China, and Colonial Cuba.

Man Lenin hated Kautsky it was weird reading a classic Marxist trash talking someone and having actually heard of them
