Yes. Generally (expecially in the times of Stalin) the idea was to eventually get rid of the government, where as he saw Socialism as only DP (Dictatorship of the Proletariet). But I guess, if you severely twist the terms of Socialism you can call him a Socialist.

But dont let us disagreeing with you discourage you from coming to the site.

From what I've heard and read about the CCCP's socialism I have liked.
I'm also a fan of Joseph Stalin.

You should know that Stalin was a big anti-communist.

He was an opportunist, not a real communist.

Do you know that Stalin was originally from Georgia and was studying to become a priest? He took part in the Russian revolution, after the revolution he forged plans to take out fellow revolutionaries and killed them. Even though he was a priest before, he turned against priests and prosecuted them. Later he even turned against communists who saw that he was killing innocent people or sent them to labor camps to work as slaves. After Stalin's death, the new soviet leader showed what Stalin has done during his reign, no one knew what horrible things he has done before.

Stalin is the reason why Communism is perceived in a very negative light in USA and its allied countries.

Populism is a view where you want what the POPulation wants.

Populism is a theory in which the leader acquires popular support by both charisma and palliatives, that is, apparent solutions to problems.

Yea and its usual like People vs The Elite, as in they being the oppistion and the elite being the current government, and its not always left-wing, in fact, Europa the majorty of Populist parties are right-wing. And its all going by time and claiming they say what the people want etc. And what Zealot said, what the people want and mostly leaders with charisma and palliatives.

If you don't think comrade Stalin or comrade Lenin portrayed Socialism in a positive light then who did?

No, they didn't portray socialism at all.

Examples of socialism? Paris Commune, Spanish communes during teh civil war and apparently the Free Territory of Ukraine.
