   Sorry, I did not read that they define this as Stalinism - it sounds   
   like the boring, moralistic and stupid bad boy story.   
      
   Shure to withstand the NAZI attacks in war, before the rich farmers or   
   other payed enemies of the USSR (including e.g. Trotzky) he had a hard   
   hand, but all nations in worldwar were like this.   
      
   And one thing seems clear to me: he was one of the last real socialists   
   when he died. I have seen it regularly in eastern German books. All   
   books after 1956 where pure ideology of non-socialist Socialism prayers.   
   All history parts of the books were O.K. but when it did come to   
   contempory subjects I always become angry of the lies and ideology. Also   
   I suggest to read Stalin's own writing - how he thinks and the   
   personality always comes trough. Always read the original whenever   
   possible!   
      
   So to call the bureaucracy after Stalin Stalinists does not really fit -   
   at least they where no real socialists.   
      
   in relation to my posted link above, I suggest to take care to   
   individualism and moralistic views of the story. The materialistic   
   conditions of this system must be analysed and understood - other wise   
   the same story will be repated until it is understood.
