Joseph Stalin
Stalin's interpretation of Marxism-Leninism was based on a belief in the need for a strong, centralized state apparatus to actively guide the development of a socialist society. He believed in the need to maintain a strong military and police force to protect the interests of the state, as well as a strict ideological commitment to Lenin's teachings. He also saw the need to develop heavy industry and the collectivization of agriculture in order to create a strong working class, and he encouraged the development of a one-party state to ensure the stability of the system. Finally, Stalin saw the need to use terror and repression to maintain control, and he believed that this was necessary in order to ensure the success of the socialist revolution.

He was a dictator and killed thousands that got in his way or he decided were against him.
Marx sought for a gradual shift from a dictatorship of the proletariat to a socialist state were the government control is removed as a unified society is formed to maintain equality and freedom. Stalin however never sought to reduce the powers of the Soviet government. Instead he maintained power over the people of the USSR and surrounding satellite states. Marx viewed a dictatorship as a means to an end in order to achieve an almost Utopian society while Stalin viewed a dictatorship as an end of itself.
