I’ve read that things actually got better after the revolution, people got less hungry, homelessness dropped, education went up. It’s hard to read between the lines when there’s so much propaganda going on.
If it’s true that Stalin’s rule was authoritarian then how do you avoid that? I can only think of constant revolutions until someone gets into power who’s true to Marx’s teachings. Maybe technology could play a part through implementing direct democracy, but that’s still in the realm of science fiction with the technology we’ve got.
One person having executive authority is the problem. We don’t need a president, we need a council. Minimum of 9 people, but always an odd number of people to avoid deadlock, or make all decisions unanimous and they aren’t allowed to filibuster or argue in bad faith. They don’t leave consultation until they come to a unanimous decision in the second case.

Yeah that’s for sure
