Even in Stalin's time there was collective leadership

Collective leadership is rule of the Politbureau - a group of ~10 party officials, of the Council of Ministers - a group of 7 bureaucrats, and of the Central Committee - a group of several dozen party officials, picked by the leadership from the GenSec's loyalists. Stalin held presiding positions in all three.

Party oligarchy is different from a one-man dictatorship, and CIA agrees on that.

I don't know how that helps your point though.

Okay mister Bolshevik. What you write is contrary to everything that I've read about soviet governance, but I guess I'll just have to take your word for it.

The collective west is currently taking part in an active genocide, out in the open for all to see. But gommunism bad holodomor vuvuzela no iPhone. We can't upset the genocidal ruling class now, can we?

I am neither a mister nor a Bolshevik. If you don't know the meaning of "collective leadership", then it's on you.

Are you having a stroke?

I'll take the L on this one. I shouldn't have assumed your gender. I'm sorry.

The Bolshevik thing was sarcasm.
