and even a cursory reading of State and Rev will confirm that "breaking down the power system" is exactly what lenin calls for. it is explicitly states that the bourgeois state machine cannot be repurposed towards a socialist goal, and needs to be dismantled and a new worker's state built in its place. through this process the most successful revolution in history to date was accomplished, suppressed only by a 70 year siege by global capital and two attempts to directly militarily destroy the soviet project (the second of which aimed to literally annihilate the population and industrial economy of eastern europe wholesale).
