Answer:

No, as capitalism is inherently exploitative to the worker, it will never pay them the true value of their labor according to Lenin. This is why he emphasised the values of Socialism and Communism. We also see the coruption money causes within capitalist "Democracies" meaning Lenin would say that there can never be true democracy under capitalism, only under socialism/communism.
