He also (like Lenin) twisted Marxism which was essentially a half decent ideology, however would never work. But they both modified the ideology so they could come into power. Lenin creating Lenism, and Stalin severely twisting it so he could be a strong militaristic power. Communism in theory is not generally militaristic, but with guys like Stalin and Fidel Castro modifying it so they can eat Grapes while thier country sucks is no fun. This sucks, arguing about something that happened 50 to 100 years ago.
