I think it's fair to say most people expected capitalism to collapse sooner, but the overall trajectory seems to be precisely as Lenin predicted. Global capitalism is currently in a historic crisis, meanwhile China is going from strength to strength. USSR was the very first attempt at socialism, and unfortunately it was eventually overthrown, but we have to always keep the long view when thinking about these things.
