    Did he even write theory? I mean, Lenin and Trotsky did but did Stalin?

      Stalin did some writing, but depending on which tankie you ask, it’s either REVOLUTIONARY AND ASTOUNDING WORK THAT IS UNFAIRLY OVERLOOKED, or just verbose rehashing of Lenin with an (extra) dash of authoritarianism.

      I believe his contribution was the idea that a dictatorship of the prolitariate is untenable, and that the state needs a single leader in order to achieve Marxism.

        Sounds like tankies will love it and Marx would have hated it

      He did. It contradicts basic tenants of Marxism, but he did write theory.

      Edit: tenets. That’s embarrassing. Thanks.

      Stalin did a lot. But most of all he did killing of innocent people.
