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

      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.

      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.

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

      Edit: tenets. That’s embarrassing. Thanks.
