He was a fascist of sorts, if he was to be asked he would have probably strongly objected as he called himself a Marxist-Leninist. However if you look back at the Soviet Union during Stalins control it resembles a very similar totalitarian government to that of the fascist Nazi Germany. After Stalin took dictatorial control it wasnt socialist or communist from a marxist point of view due to the simple fact that both heavily involve democracy. Stalins "variant" of socialism is often labeled 'Stalinism'; it is seen as deformity and betrayal of Marxism by most modern Marxists and left wingers and is used as an example for direct attacks on the theories of Marxism by its opponents. Which side you agree with is your choice.
(there are still some Stalinist supporters around today,there are also countries like North Korea that still follow Stalins form of total control)
Communism is traditionally opposed to forms of total control such as fascism, though there seems to be a split of Marxists; Those from the East are generally more likely to be supporters of Stalinism and Maoism. Those from the West are generally "neo-orthodox" Marxists and hold more of a developing Trotskyist view.

∙ 12y agoJoseph Stalin was a not only a communist but also in partial favor of being a democrat and republican...he was able to show his democratic side during the downfall of the provisional govt. as he needed the support for his rise to power. He then showed his republican side when he deployed plans such as collectivization and industrialization as he was forced to kill many in favor of the country and the fall of the communist regime...

Joseph Stalin was a corrupt bureaucrat that warped the Socialist ideals of Marx and Lenin (and other Marxists) into a totalitarian regime where the state controlled absolutely everything.

He was a fascist that used Communist imagery and ideology to control everyone and everything. The only difference between Stalin and Hitler was Stalin did not kill people because they were of a certain race. However Stalin did not treat everyone equal and thought homosexuality to be a crime, much unlike Lenin who argued for homosexuality and abortion to be accepted (legalized during the planned socialist stage of the country)
