To quote other socialists who came to power about the same time: "With Lenin dead, Stalin began a systematic elimination of those fighting to defend workers’ democracy": https://www.socialistalternative.org/2019/03/09/leon-trotsky...

National socialism remains as socialism regardless of your feelings on the topic.
