Hmm... my relatives were under occupation and yes, Italians and Germans looked like representatives of two different biological species. As a result, Italian officers are walking through the village, knocking on the windows and warning "the Germans are coming!".
It is not surprising that even Italian fascists and Nazis are really two CATASTROPHICALLY big differences, but the difference is still in the degree of radicalism. Mussolini passed segregation laws not only for blacks, but also for Arabs. And back in 1937, when Italy was not a lapdog of the Third Reich. In other words, the same basic principles (the primacy of the nation) generate similar trends. At the same time, the policy gets tougher over time – the Third Reich also seemed quite herbivorous at first.
In reality, Lenin literally turned the basic principles of social democracy upside down. The Marxists were fixated on the destruction of the "bureaucratic-military state machine." The result of the Bolshevik coup turned out to be diametrically opposite - because after the first attempts it turned out that the Marxist model of the economy and the state does not work from the word "at all".
It was Stalin who just gave Lenin's bureaucratic-police state complete forms.

Leninism is a direct continuation of international Marxism a strand of international communism that was a serious force in world politics well before WW1. Lenin didn't really invent anything new,

It's only when Stalin came to power that the Soviet Union started changing into its own thing.
