What was his problem?

Like most if not all dictators, narcissism.

Paranoia, most likely. Having Trotsky whacked didn't provide him any benefit, since by that point Trotsky was dicking around in Mexico and Trotskyist have never been a threat to anyone.

You'd have a big ego too if you were in charge of a global hegemon.

He choose to be a perfect political entity instead of being a human. His greatest victory arguably is dying of natural consequences. One step ahead of everyone to the point where no one could touch him, even in his greatest time of need.

His problem was that he had a small dick but felt like he had a big one. So in order to compensate, he became a dictator of a country under the guise of "worker's revolution" when in reality he just wanted to fuck with people for attention. Imagine if he had just been born a little over a century later, just in time for the internet, and how much suffering it would have alleviated if he knew he didn't have to go outside his home in order to fuck with people for attention. But alas, he was born in the wrong generation. He shitposted before anyone knew what shitposting was. Rest in piece, old friend.

Stalin was a reptile. Your vain projections simply don't apply to him.

I never said I wasn't a reptile.

You aren't. He was.

He didn't really have any friends. And the ones he did have were eventually killed......by him.

He has a quote taken after his first wife died where he says that her love was the only thing keeping him sane.

Sociopathy probably.

Balls to the wall crazy.

I've always been interested in Stalin as a person.

He just wanted to make his mom happy.
