Based on Lenin’s depiction of Stalin, he was paranoid, anxious and easily angered/upset. These certainly are characteristics of weak people. Just because people have power to do what they like doesn’t mean they are strong.

I get the impression that he worked tirelessly to exude the idea that he was strong. Much like Putin or Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow

I will admit that I do not know much of anything about Mao

I dunno dude, Lenin absolutely hated Stalin so maybe he's not an impartial character witness.

I've made my point - OP is obviously wrong and so are you - so that's all from me.
