He spat on the doctrine of communism and abused every facet of the political structure for his own benefit. He killed Trotsky, a figure that, if he had survived, would have changed the face of communism. We might not even have the negative connotation that comes along with "communist".
Stalin killed Lenin via poison, his avarice ovveriding his adherance to communism's doctrine.
Lenin bastardized Marx's doctrines on communism but at least he adhered to a good portion of it. Stalin, though... Like you said, if not for him, the negative connotation to communism may have never existed.
