Don't you think that's a childish response?

communism hasn't been tried, I agree

Lenin tried it alright, it's just that his government was immediately crushed by a totalitarian state taking advantage of the power vacuum. The communists had just successfully executed a revolution, so it's safe to say that Stalin claimed his government was socialist to avoid being torn down.

"It is true that liberty is precious; so precious that it must be carefully rationed." -Lenin

"You cannot do anything without rousing the masses to action. A plenary meeting of the Soviet must be called to decide on mass searches in Petrograd and the goods stations. To carry out these searches, each factory and company must form contingents, not on a voluntary basis: it must be the duty of everyone to take part in these searches under the threat of being deprived of his bread card. We can't expect to get anywhere unless we resort to terrorism: speculators must be shot on the spot. Moreover, bandits must be dealt with just as resolutely: they must be shot on the spot." -Lenin

"It is necessary — secretly and urgently to prepare the terror. And on Tuesday we will decide whether it will be through SNK or otherwise." -Lenin

"We must pursue the removal of church property by any means necessary in order to secure for ourselves a fund of several hundred million gold rubles (do not forget the immense wealth of some monasteries and lauras)." -Lenin

"Pacifism, the preaching of peace in the abstract, is one of the means of duping the working class." -Lenin

"All over the world, wherever there are capitalists, freedom of the press means freedom to buy up newspapers, to buy writers, to bribe, buy and fake “public opinion” for the benefit of the bourgeoisie." -Lenin

"I am not fond of the Germans by any means but at the present time it is more advantageous to use them than to challenge them. An independent Poland is very dangerous to Soviet Russia: it is an evil which, however, at the present time has also its redeeming features; for while it exists, we may safely count on Germany, because the Germans hate Poland and will at any time make common cause with us in order to strangle Poland. … Everything teaches us to look upon Germany as our most reliable ally. Germany wants revenge, and we want revolution. For the moment our aims are the same. When our ways part they will be our most ferocious and our great enemies. Time will tell whether a German hegemony or a Communist federation is to arise out of the ruins of Europe." -Lenin

Lenin revolted against the Tsars, also known as a monarchy. America did the same thing. The revolution had a good premise, though in order to succeed they had to be cruel. Unfortunately, there is no room for civility in civil war.

It's important to keep in mind the position the rebels were coming from. The horrible mistreatment of the people under Russia's monarchy justified the revolution as justice in the minds of the rebels. Many of Lenins's quotes cannot be applied to modern society, because he was right for believing the monarchy's form of "freedoms" were merely a tool for the continued oppression of Russian citizens. When he speaks against the freedom of the press, for example, he doesn't speak against the concept as we know it, but rather the monarchy's bastardized form of it.
