by no way do I think Stalinism is a good option, but stalin industrialized Russia...and I don't think lenin could have done what he did
And he did that by purposefully starving millions of peasants to death in Ukraine, Belarus, and Western Russia. All because he refused to admit that his policy of collectivization of agriculture was a failure. The Soviet Union could have industrialized without millions of deaths, but Stalin was all too eager to kill off people who might oppose his dictatorial rule.

yeah, if the reds hadn't taken power. Under the circumstances imposed by the Bolsheviks, slave labor and starvation were the only way anything could get done. Would lenin have the stomach for it? who knows.
