Well, I disagree with Lenin on that thing too, but Lenin was more of an 85-15 guy.
Also he had reasons to be soft on Roosevelt, because Roosevelt was helping to send the USSR aid during the war, and its not wise to piss off the guy helping you.
Just saying, you can't separate Stalin from Lenin or Marxism in general, as many try to do. If you disagree with Marxism, then that's a whole other thing. The thing with being soft on Roosevelt is that it slid into the realm of carelessness rather than a strategic thing.
If FDR lived for the rest of his term into the post-war I'm assuming he was planning on strengthening ties with the Soviet Union and assisting them in rebuilding and leaving Germany a ruin. If he pulled this off, do you think it would have led to a more powerful independent Soviet Union or would it have allowed the U.S. to covertly liberalize it? Or maybe made communism more palapatle to people in the U.S.? seems like we could have entered a vastly different historical trajectory, not sure if good or bad for socialism though.
