"Conscientious practice of self-criticism is still another hallmark distinguishing our Party from all other political parties. As we say, dust will accumulate if a room is not cleaned regularly, our faces will get dirty if they are not washed regularly. Our comrades' minds and our Party's work may also collect dust, and also need sweeping and washing." - Mao Zedong

They should have allowed Stalin to step down when he wanted to. So he could act as a guide and mentor for the next leaders. Instead they worked him to death and then let Khrushchev step in and start fucking everything up.
