USSR would probably be better off.
He would remove Stalin and Trotsky. Bukharin would succeed him.
Probably.

they would have to build an actual tribune

Why is he always doing JoJo poses in his propaganda posters?

Well his "New Economic Policy" basically resolved the "Scissor Crisis" and created a more reasonably stable Russia under a state-capitalist model. There wouldn't have been the same level of drastic purges of whole populations as perpetrated under Stalin. However, that isn't to say Lenin would've taken the next step towards radical shifts in the near future after the economic situation was more stable.

because it makes him look appealing?

NEP isn't too far away from the east asian model that was so successful, so if he had kept the economy under bukharin's control instead of the more ideological/retarded side of the party the ussr could have turned out okay.

Scissor Crisis was after NEP was instituted, WTF are you talking about?

He would have been assassinated or imprisoned/exiled by Stalin or Trotsky. His sister said that he was only saved from prison by his death

What would Lennin have done with the rise of fascism in the 30s?
Same things Stalin did?

Lenin had some mighty clout within the European establishments, even while being a lowly dissident. He'd probably be able to forge a coalition real quickly.
One thing that can be said for sure: there would be no turmoil caused by his death and lack of institutions, all that mess with Trotsky and Stalin.
Stalin wasn't some kind of powerthirsty maniac. He was a classic authoritarian personality: demanded complete submission, completely submitted himself and respected hierarchy. Problem being, there was no hierarchy after Lenin died. If he didn't die so soon, he'd set up administrative rotation and competition properly, there would be no political crisis, Stalin and Trotsky would live happily in a gay marriage. Pretty much like in China.

He submitted himself to Lenin whom he admired. But I disagree. Give your arguments?

The Socialist World Republic would have formed by 1950

The whole topic is highly arbitrary, so there is not much point arguing over opinions.
The situation after Lenin's illness and death was highly precarious, and Stalin didn't, in fact, had much choice in the matter, if you think about it. There was no legitimacy in the party. It was divided into three groups, and fractured even more. The fact that he managed to forge a solid hierarchy in this situation, without things going down, is no small feat indeed.

This great song, really, does not deserve such a cringe inducing animation. Black screen would've been an upgrade
