      They are often incredibly stubborn and unwillingly to adapt socialist strategy to their different material conditions

      I actually don’t know. I’m not that well-versed in communism, but I’ll try to make a suggestion:

      Marx never said to force communism, an envisioned futuristic system, to happen, the same way that one shouldn’t force capitalism in the year 900, during the time of fuedalism if some visionary would predict such of type of governance to happen in the year 800. Even if you think capitalism is better than fuedalism, trying to implement it by introducing ballot boxes, constitutions, parliaments and such, likely would get you killed by the nobility and/or clergy, because you forgot to increase the increase the power of the merchants first, so that they could revolt, with lawyers by their side, or better said in front of them, against the old powers.

      Trotsky wanted to implement a world government or capilalists will do everything in their power to try to destroy it.
      Stalin wanted to develop socialism further in the Soviet Union into a better working model for other countries to emulate.

      Furious debates ensued on who was on the right track.
