    I honestly wonder how he would have handled the Spanish Revolution as well

      Probably the same. Germany descending into fascism was all but set in stone after the Spartacus revolt failed in 1919 and the civil war in Spain was in part proxy war between the Soviets and Germany. Once it became clear the Spanish Republicans weren't going to win, the USSR pulled back to reinforce the western border. I think Lenin would have made the same decision.
