Jiang argues that subjective conviction is not a defense because even figures like Stalin, Hitler, and Genghis Khan could have felt their actions were right or necessary for their people.
Stalin beats Trotsky partly because Trotsky becomes associated with Jewish/transnational-capital betrayal after capital refuses to rebuild Russia.
Jiang speculates that Spyridon Putin was humble, selfless, Orthodox Christian, and admiring of Stalin, helping transmit a Stalin-as-messiah story to Vladimir Putin.

The hypothesis says an Orthodox/Soviet elite believed Stalin would return and that Spyridon Putin could have introduced Vladimir Putin to this network as a possible second coming of Stalin.
Jiang reads Putin's secret baptism and his mother's devotion as a dog whistle to Orthodox fanatics and as a claimed similarity with Stalin's seminary background.

Paradise first appears as receptivity rather than rank, then the lecture widens into vows, memory, resurrection, original sin, and Jiang's culminating wager that God created humanity because perfection alone cannot imagine.
