But it is a fact, the opportunists will say, that Stalin was for a long period the all-powerful leader of the Soviet State and of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and that people were singing praises to him. We by no means intend to deny this. But how is it possible that people claiming to be Marxists assert that this was fortuitous, that it was in contradiction with the will of the Party and of the people, that the Party and the people were building socialism in opposition to Stalin and without him?
How can they reconcile themselves with the thought that a man who was not relying on any social group, who was not representing any class, only due to the strength of his mind and character could lead for 30 years in succession a party and a whole state? The critics of the «personality cult» who believe in the possibility of such an extraordinary and unpunishable arbitrariness are themselves raising Stalin to the level of the superman, they themselves are turning away from Marxism and reconciling themselves with the «personality cult» in theory.
The limpid history of the Soviet people's 30-year class struggle for socialism loses, under the pen of these traitors to Marxism, all its grandiose social meaning and turns into a mystery of the Madrid palace, into an obscure, vile and disgusting piece of gossip, in which calumny engenders calumny.
The picture presented by the opportunists can be forced upon the imagination of a petty-bourgeois, it must be tasteful to the appetite of the bourgeois intellectual who always goes about with his personality and, therefore, he is ready to attribute everything in this world to the personal will. The Marxists, however, cannot be content with the tales of «personal will» of the petty-bourgeois and, of course, they must analyze the social reasons of such a situation.
