how did he get into power? by out manovering trotsky, the rightful successor of lenin. I assume he was paranoid about those around him trying to overthrow him, thats a widely held belief from what i've read. I'm reminded of a quote from kurt cobain, 'Just because your paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you'.
Appropriate i think seeming as many believe he was poisioned on berias orders now?!
i don't buy the paranoid stuff, but can't think of anything else, tho.
It was a combination of him feeling he had to kill people to keep a firm control of the USSR, and him just being a crazy bastard. That's my opinion anyways.

He was not crazy, however a bit paranoid. He felt that he had to kill those who were in his way to make his time run smoothly and to scare people into becoming good, monotonous workers.

I suggest this be posted in OI, considering the stalinists and supporters of Stalin are restricted. Here you will get a one sided response.
Frankly, I don't know much about it. I'm researching right now. I'll be back if I find my own opinion.
I think he was just some bum trying to make a name for himself.

he was simply just extremely paranoid....and he felt that such behaviour was necessary in order to get the USSR together.
i think he did go more or less mad before he died. he was trying to develop plans for world domination involivng huge nuclear missiles. his apparent plan was to eridicate capitalist europe and america by developing various weapons.....however, he died 3 months before all this stuff was to be put into practice
i think thats right anyway....there was a very detailed tv programme on the other day and i've heard stuff like that before....make of it what you will

Yes, Stalin was paraniod, and he fucked up bad. However, I think that too much blame is placed on him. I am neither a Stalinist nor, generally, an apologist for Stalin, but I feel that he has be maltreated. He made a calculated risk that it was worth the lives of many Russians to bring about rapid development. Along with great achievments comes a great cost, which Stalin considered reasonable. Overall I think his measures were wrong and unneccessarily draconian, bur I must admit that he managed an amazing and unprecedented feat: he industrialised a backward nation in fifteen years.

I have to go with Uhuru on this. I have had varied opinions of Stalin throughout my life in communistic and socialistic ideology. These views have ranged from support to extreme dislike. Now I am sort of neutral.
