Not arguing anything with you stranger. I know what we're told in the states, but I don't think things are quite what we're told they are.

Just want to share this declassified documents straight from cia's website. The first little blurb says Stalin wasn't really a dictator. Do with that what you will. ✌️

Also the USSR was a socialisy state, not communist. Communism is a stateless society by definition. The word socialist is literally one of the s's in USSR.

Stalin wasn't a dictator in the sense that he didn't have absolute power, but in the sense that everyone at the top agreed dissenters belong in slave camps he was absolutely the head of state of an authoritarian system, which most folks are happy to call a dictator.
