Stalin was one of the cadre who followed Lenin. When Lenin died, it wasn't fully clear who was going to follow him. Stalin had been maneuvering behind the scenes for a long time, building his power, and finally emerged as top dog in the late 1920s. That's when people started dying.

Mao was different. He created the Chinese Communist Party, so he was always in charge. He didn't have to clean out a lot of other people who also had potential to claim the throne.

IIRC I read somewhere Lenin didn't truest Stalin and didn't want him following him but by the time of Lenin's death Stalin had his fingers too far into the party's machinery to do anything about it.

Sounds about right. Very few, if anyone, trusted Stalin. Lenin didn't think he was intelligent, and said so to numerous people. But what no one saw was Stalin's ruthlessness and ability to outmaneuver everyone else.

Basically just about everyone underestimated Stalin and many paid for it with their lives later

And of course Napoleon wouldn't tolerate Snowball.

Trump won in 2016. And again in 2024. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

You forgot that Carney eliminated the carbon tax within 2 hours of becoming interim PM, which was the Conservatives main point of support.

All the Cons had was "Trudeau bad and carbon tax bad" and Carney killed both of those.

Pierre also lost his seat in Parliament. An L like this on the Conservatives party is one for the history books.

Carney talks a good game but actually delivering...
