    So we have:

    1. Great Man Theory. You believe Stalin could have individually saved Socialism, rather than admitting flaws in the State itself arose from Material Conditions and contradictions unresolved.

    2. Ultraleftism, and a rejection of Historical and Dialectical Materialism. You analyze China as a snapshot, a static, unshifting system, and not as a state that changes each and every day.

    Read the article I linked for you.

      I don’t think Stalin could save the Soviet Union, because Stalin’s death was largely due to the assassination of capitalist elements. His fundamental contradiction was between the capitalist group and the socialist collective. Stalin’s death was just a sign, just like in China, Lin Biao’s death represented that the rebels were gradually losing to the capitalist roaders, and Mao Zedong’s death was a sign that China had entered revisionism.
