He's not really like Stalin, the old Bolsheviks maybe, but not Stalin.

Stalin came up after a great leader, he changed history yes, but not his own history. He purged people who challenged him, he killed them instead of equalising. His predecessors had done the job of killing and equalising the upper classes, he just destroyed everybodies livelihoods.

Equalisation wasn't really Stalin's motive, he wanted to be the absolute ruler.

As the saying goes; power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Just look at what happened to all those absolute rulers.
