Nothing will work until people get a few basic things straight. Two simple thoughts humanity still avoids:
I want to live well
It is my responsibility to make my life well
Until each and everyone understands that and starts acting accordingly, no amount of -isms or whatnot is going to make anything better. Now, some can argue like “but today’s world is much better than slavery”, to which there is a simple answer:
slavery has not died yet. Oh, the language was removed from legislature of some countries? Go tell people who are enslaved (literally, like documents taken away, chains on hands etc) how good that is
more generally, exploitation is still a thing. Who cares what language it is spoken about?
So… yeah, Lenin and the gang did exactly zero things better, tons of people continued to suffer and die and there was no end to it long after Lenin died
Those two rules are purely individualistic, though. What about problems that we all need to coordinate on in order to make our lives well, like climate change?

You picked quite an easy example :)
