Maybe Stalin was sharing his wonderful wisdom for the sake of like-minded comrades around the world so that they would understand how to create the illusion of democracy to the people. But regardless if he said it or not, since you think you're so smart and all non-progressives are so stupid, my point remains that this kind of thinking is all the incentive needed for dimwits to cheat on elections, since obviously "stupid" folks cannot be trusted to do the intelligent and right thing at the ballot box.
You should peruse the quotes in the above link. I know you'll love just about all of Stalin's "pearls of wisdom". You know....birds of a feather and all that good stuff....
Here's a few I know you'll love:
Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas.
And,
The press must grow day in and day out - it is our Party's sharpest and most powerful weapon.
And,
Political power does not rest with those who cast votes; political power rests with those who count votes.
