This is an old article but still worth the read.
One thing i cant understand about Marxist-Leninists is that they claim to be the "true successors" of Lenins unique branch of Marxism (Hence the term "Marxism-Leninism"), but how can they say this when Lenin himself saw Stalin as a threat and wanted him removed from any influential positions in the party?
And as this article shows, in his last months, Lenin even went as far as to form a bloc with Trotsky, amongst many others, to thwart Stalins attempt at grabbing power for himself.
I must say that this is one of the best articles denouncing Stalinism that i have ever had the pleasure of reading.
If you want any more evidence for Stalins Bureaucratic Dictatorship, then look no further then his execution of most of the old Bolsheviks, most of whom just happened to be apart of the anti-Stalin bloc that Lenin and Trotsky set up to stop Stalin getting so much power.
