I'm not using speculation reaching for impossible scenarios.
I'm questioning the degree of freedom that anybody could have taken advantage of if they wanted to. The fact that this happened or not is irrelevant.
Given that, I also make another separate point about how greed can have many faces, even outside Capitalism.
Combining those two I question the amount of self reflection Stalin subjected himself and his role to through his life.
I'm not suggesting that what you're speculating is impossible.
I'm suggesting your analysis is facile and uninteresting
