Stalin ordered liquidation of all peoples of authority or creativity, which he saw as a potential threat to the state, all wealthy peoples had their property taken away and all land was separated between the people (so he said...) under state control, in reality he wanted all peoples and things under his own rule.
I'm not a specialist in this topic. However, I understand that the kulaks were the individuals who benefited from Lenin's New Economic Policy, during the mid-1920s. They were able to create farms with multiple machinery and animals (yes, I know...sinful...), and were regarded as better-off than the majority of the Russian peasantry (numbering about 82% at the time and suffering poverty and famine on a regular basis). Stalin regarded this population as contrary to the communist ideal of egalitarianism and economic commonality. He therefore ordered their liquidation, so as to appease those of the peasantry who were jealous, display his unadulterated devotion towards communism, and implement his first Five Years Plan, which represented virtually complete state control over the Russian economy.

policy in the 1950's that called for threatening all-out war in order to confront Communist aggression

No. Stalin had died a decade earlier.
Stalin considered the Kulaks to be wealthy peasantsThey were formerly wealthy farmers that had owned 24 or more acres, or had employed farm workers. Stalin believed any future insurrection would be led by the Kulaks, thus he proclaimed a policy aimed at "liquidating the Kulaks as a class."
Stalin's predictable response to any let down in coercion were met with statements such as this and to paraphrase, Stalin would declare there was even more reasons for a stronger dictatorship in order to scatter to winds the last remnants of the old classes. This attitude by Stalin was never more evident then when the great purges of the Party began in 1937. Stalin either had dissident party members shot, sent to Siberia or exiled.
Stalin's goals completely contridicted the five goals of the American foreign policy.
