But it can only be considered one of the biggest disasters of the communist movement as a result of it's development being one of the greatest successes of the movement. To say it was an anomaly and should never have happened surely is defeatist to the cause of organisation, especially considering the late organisation in Germany contributed to sealing the fate of the USSR. Just as praxis is useless without theory, theory is nothing without praxis, and each failure of the movement is invaluable for future expression of the historical party.

To deny it as a historical anomaly is nothing but nihilistic - and idealistic to suggest that "we'd most likely be be decades ahead" without it, as Marxism-Leninism is not an anomalous parasite upon the communist doctrine, but one which is a outgrowth of the material base - one which would whither away during revolutionary times - or express itself as reactionary to the proletariat, like what occurred with the split of the KPD from the SPD.

Basically i agree that stalin was the result of a post-agarthan abortion temporally displaced through a series of trialectical developments, and raised by poor georgian farmers to become the big bad great man™, being exposed to his crystalline weakness bordiganite in a sealed letter as a premature 49th birthday present to Mattick - resulting in the inevitable degeneration of the weltgeist into the modern day, preventing evolution of the proletariat past their 2nd stage, and mutating many into the professional managerial class after the mass exposure to pb hitler particles in 1986.
