If they don't, they're ML. If they do they're M.
Lenin believed the Dictatorship of the Proletariat to be a temporary solution to Russia's unique economic system (being super underdeveloped, uneducated, and big as fuck.) The whole point being to use the State's resources to rapidly develop the country until they can establish a true socialist economy. The problem is, they never get that far. If they ever do cross the goal line, they're just successful MLs
Most MLs I know extoll the achievements of actually existing socialism though, so while that may be true for Lenin I don't think it is very accurate to Marxist-Leninists.
