Of course, there was no other party, it was a single party system, why would you even have other parties.
That is not true and you know it, I've never heard of anyone just shouting that Stalin is this or that and being arrested for it. As I said, you had to shit on the system for months at a time to be even arrested. I don't know in which USSR you lived, that's not the one I know of.
It does not matter why would you try to form another party. You would be arrested.
And as for shouting Stalin is pussy - people were arrested for the less - for privately told political anecdotes in those times.
