Leninism is the view that a Vanguard party organized along paramilitary lines and comprised of "professional revolutionaries" is required in order to achieve a worker's revolution. After the revolution, this party would centralize all power in its hands for the purpose of leading the nation in the development of socialism.
The strategy of Leninism is based on the centralized Vanguard party and the idea of democratic centralism, which states that once the party makes decisions, those decisions cannot be questioned. This is done to make the party an efficient organization impervious to counter-revolutionary action.
Leninism and the political system of democratic centralism set the stage for authoritarianism and for the abuse of political power by the party-elite, because the party is given so much power and is not held accountable to any other public body.
Leninism is a debacle because the practice of authoritarian centralism and vanguardism is antithetical to socialism, which requires collective decision-making and widespread participation by all members of society. The logical outcome of Leninist methods is an authoritarian rule by the party (or in some cases, as during Stalin's and Mao's rule, totalitarian rule by the leader of the Party).

What is Stalin's concept of socialism?
Stalin held a different view of socialism from Trotskyists, Orthodox Marxists, Anarchists and Lenin's original conception of socialism. In contrast to the other views, Stalin's view was based on Socialism in One Country, the belief that socialism can be constructed in a single country despite that country existing in a global, interlinked capitalist economy. Stalin's concept of socialism accepted the law of value as an integral part of socialism, along with wage-based labor and monetary exchange. Stalin's view implicitly rejected collective-decision making and worker's self-management in favor of the "cult of the individual personality" and authoritarianism.
