Who founded communism?
Before Vladimir Lenin died, he picked another high-ranking member of the Supreme Soviet as his successor, Josef Stalin. Less of a theoretician than a communicator, Stalin twisted and reformed Soviet communism to meet his ideals, including particularly a famous justification for the suppression of political dissenters, the so-called “theory of the aggravation of class struggle”. As a result, Stalin jailed or murdered millions of Russians of all social classes.
