Figure out a way to implement communism without creating a Stalin that takes advantage of the situation to seize power, and we can talk. Until then, that is a major problem requiring a solution, and ignoring it makes people look blind.
It's hilarious hearing people like you talk up Stalin as a bloodthirsty monster, and finally reading what he wrote and seeing a quiet academic.
If Stalin was so intent on seizing power, why'd he try to resign so much?
Source?
Do you mean a source for Stalin having a quiet, academic, writing voice?
