Lenin was absolutely a dedicated revolutionary. He was so dedicated that he used Marxism as a philosophical basis to convince the people of Russia that the Tsar should be overthrown, but he was not patient enough to wait for the people of Russia to become a true Marxian proletariat of workers. When he was able to take over the country, he did so in a political insurrection against a weak government. It was not at all a Marxian revolution.
Lenin became dedicated to revolution when his older brother Alexander was shot for plotting to assassinate Tsar Alexander III.
Lenin branded himself a "dedicated revolutionary." Part of his Leninist philosophy was that a revolution should be conducted by a small group of "professional revolutionaries," rather than by a large but loosely organized mass of workers as Karl Marx had predicted.
