Marx sought for a gradual shift from a Dictatorship of the proletariat to a socialist state were the government control is removed as a unified society is formed to maintain equality and freedom. Stalin however never sought to reduce the powers of the Soviet government. Instead he maintained power over the people of the USSR and surrounding satellite states. Marx viewed a dictatorship as a means to an end in order to achieve an almost Utopian society while Stalin viewed a dictatorship as an end of itself.
