Stalin did not create the Soviet State – but was rather the product of historical materialism mediated by a Marxist-Engels dialectic. Stalin did not create the Soiet State – the Soviet State created Stalin – whilst Stalin carefully and expertly developed the dialectical forces unleashed by Lenin and his Bolsheviks. Trotsky wanted to turn the historical clock backwards and wipe-out all of the USSR’s development under Stalin so that capitalism could re-emerge throughout the USSR as a means to placate the International Fascist countries of Germany, Italy and Japan.
