Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

They don't trust the idea of just doing communism outright, they don't believe in communism's ability to fend for itself at the beginning. These careful moderates are called Stalinists

Genuine questions.

Do you think that if Soviet Union instead immediately dissolved the state apparatus and had smaller communes (for lack of a better word) that it would have been able to defend itself from its civil wars and the imperialist nations, and moreover Nazi Germany's war machine?

Also, what do you believe 'Communism' is? Or, how do you get there? Do you really think a stateless, mostly agrarian and unindustrialized land the size of a continent could just do "communism outright"?
