I think it says a lot about Lenin himself and his achievements (along with his comrades and the Russian masses) that the liberals have been unwilling or unable to give him this posthumous treatment.

I'm not sure about that. I still regularly hear liberals and leftcoms whitewashing Lenin and claiming that he would have hated everything the USSR became after his death.

It's less common than trying to portray Marx as an anarchist, but it still happens.
