it would have removed what our government points to as the reason communism is bad
I believe you are wrong about the part where you said it would have run itself. Lenin deviated drastically from Marx, Hegle and Engels. He set up a mechanism to be run by elites. He did not trust the common Russian. I repeat my question, what is your source? What are you reading that made you reach this conclusion?
