Yes. He believed the government (aka him) should control everything.
False. In actuality, before Lenin's death, he had written that Stalin should not succeed him because he [Stalin] is more extreme & it would be dangerous.
Lenin suggested that the Communist Party should be wary of Joseph Stalin's growing power and influence. In his "Testament," written in late 1922 and early 1923, he recommended that Stalin be removed from his position as General Secretary due to his concentration of power and his abrasive personality. Lenin expressed concerns that Stalin's leadership style could be detrimental to the party and the revolution.

Wealth in a communist country is divided among its people according to their needs. In the 1875 work titled "A Critique of the Gotha Programme," Karl Marx described this as "From each according to his ability. To each according to his need." Most people erroneously believe that wealth in a communist society is distributed evenly to everyone. This is not so. NOTE: WILL SOMEONE PLEASE RE-CATEGORIZE THIS PROPERLY. IT SHOULD GO INTO "COMMUNISM", "KARL MARX" , AND MAYBE EVEN "LENIN" SINCE HE ADVOCATED THE COROLLARY "HE WHO DOES NOT WORK, SHALL NOT EAT." IT CERTAINLY DOES NOT BELONG IN "COLD WAR", OR "JOSEPH STALIN." ISN"T THERE A COMPETENT SUPERVISOR WATCHING THE "JOSEPH STALIN" CATEGORY."

A good spreadsheet for Joseph Stalin would be one showing the number of people Stalin is responsible for killing each year by nationality. It would look something like this in part Nationality Year: 1930__________ 1931__________ 1932 Ukrainian_____ 10,000________ 9,000__________ 11,000 Russian_______ 5,000________ 8,000___________ 9,000 Georgian______ 6,000________ 4,000___________ 7,000 Then do totals on the right for each nationality, then his grand total in the bottom right corner.

How do you overate or underrate a historical situation Joseph Stalin was a man that was totally ruthless and retained power of his country through some very difficult times also grabbing a large part of Europe while he was at it his contribution to poverty and misery in the world with the Aid of the United States should never be underrated.
At the Yalta Conference, Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt, and Joseph Stalin agreed that all of the countries liberated from Nazi occupation should be granted free elections. Sadly, Stalin did not honor his promise and occupied the Eastern European countries that he liberated.
