Stalin's Paranoia About the Rise of Fascism

I don't think it's fair to lay all of the blame on Stalin because there were certainly, you know, purges and murders before he was in charge. And there were a lot of people involved in this process. But I definitely think that look, Stalin's paranoia about being outflanked by machinations within the party, especially among those Bolsheviks. He was very, very, very worried about being displaced.
