Unfortunately this ignores the simple fact that Lenin grounded his theory solidly in Marx's writings. And Stalinism was simply the genocidal extension of the system Lenin (And Trotsky, by the way) had been pivotal in establishing.
You call it "bastardisation"; I call it legitimate (Albeit horribly mistaken) interpretation.
