Joseph Stalin started out with humble beginnings. He lived and grew up in Russia and was not the most well behaved child at that. Before he rose to power he was arrested countless times and managed to escape every encounter. He rose to power, as a communist dictator, in the early 1900's and stayed there until after world war two. His methods of sedustion and seclusion lead him to be one of the worlds greatst leaders, despite him being so evil. Stalin based his government off of the ideas of Karl Marx and his idea of maxism. Marxism is a derevation of socialism in that fact that it strives for a classless society. Where all the people of a country are no better or worse off that anyone else. This idea may seem like a foolproof plan on the outside, but on the inside many secrets and evils await anyone who dares to enter.
