      You quoted part of a sentence. That was part of a question. Questions and claims are not the same things.

      It was not a question. This is the full quote of your original claim:

      Figure out a way to implement communism without creating a Stalin that takes advantage of the situation to seize power, and we can talk.

      Your implications are:

      • that Stalin was bad.
      • that Stalin wrongly “seized power”.
      • that Stalin wrongly held onto power.

      I asked: “If Stalin was so intent on seizing power, why’d he try to resign so much?”. I think that neutralizes all three of your implied claims.

      You have not answered.
