Interesting. I have been doing a fair amount of Stalin reading recently, both about the man and by the man (though I find myself a mix of in favor, at odds and then sympathetic), so I might look into it abit further. That being said, I can’t imagine being a hardline Stalinist, so many of the policies that he championed in the Central Committee were policies of necessity, and then dealing with the aftermath of those policies of necessity, that I don’t think a blanket support of him is necessarily a good thing (though laying the blame entirely at his feet is just as flawed, if not more so).
The Wikipedia page provides a little info to clear things up. (I’d link to ProleWiki instead but Wikipedia has more info.)
Part of the problem is that actual Hoxhaists prefer to call themselves Marxist-Leninist-Stalinists or something weird like that.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.
No problem. One thing is certain though, Stalin’s spoon is absolutely vital to the revolution.
