Now, this sounds like generic Marxist theology, likely writen by some nameless drone ghost writer.
Stalin had "Marxism in a specific country", Khruschev (or was it Brezhnev?) had "socialism with human face".

- droptablemain 5y agoStalin had "socialism in one country," and yes, that has significant material and historical meaning, as opposed to being generic fluff. Because it was generally believed that building socialism required a number of successful workers' revolutions around the world. But basically every revolution at the time failed, other than the Bolshevik revolution. So they found themselves in an awkward position. Hence the strategy and policy of Stalin to build "socialism in one country." This is one of the major breaks between Stalin and Trotsky.
