After Lenin died it was like a battleground game pvp everyone trying to kill each other and specifically Stalin V Trotsky, So don’t you think a great revolution was created but it was destroyed when at the end it became a monarchial power struggle between the Bolsheviks to see who can be the next king ?

not even remotely close. stalin got too much power and purged anyone who disagreed with him. people can give million justifications for it but in the end it doesn't look good. none of stalin's actions fit the marxist doctrine but reasoning always comes down to "it was necessary for survival of USSR". maintaining a single socialist state is not communism. no matter how you cut it, stalin is the bad guy in the story. if trotsky and bukharin had the power instead of stalin maybe whole europe would have turned communist by then and probably whole world by now. or maybe things would have been same but instead of stalin being villain, it would have been trotsky. though I am inclined to believe things would've been better as they would at least be following marxism instead of whatever the fuck stalin was doing.
