Dear Avira,
Stalin did not care for communism. There is no indication he understood any of it’s doctrines. Of course none of Marx’s predictions came to pass in his day – or even in our days, the tensions that he examined and uncovered are still present. The question is if the ideas of the classical State and classical Government have solutions for them. If not, revolution is humanities best hope…….
P. S. I’m not giving an ultimatum for humanity. That was Marx’s teachings. And one hundred fifty years later, we have not yet refuted them.
