    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.
