Lenin did not trust the general population of Russia to remain committed to the new socialist society that was obtained through the revolution. He felt they were not truly aware of their status as proletarians as Karl Marx had postulated. If political power were to be handed over to the people so that they could form whatever type of government they wanted, they could throw the Bolsheviks out of power. Not only that but they could reverse the imposition of the socialist government and return to a capitalist one. Lenin refused to allow that to happen, therefore he opposed traditional democracy.
