I think maybe the logic is that it was only Stalin, and his ways/methods (these ways.methods are what created friction with the West) that could have rallied the Soviets the way they were rallied to defeat Germany. Anyone else would have been much softer, thus not have the authroitarian means to divert such large resources in a short amount of time with little to no discussion/debate.

The joke is about the rift between Stalin and Trotsky over who should have been Lenin's successor. The tailor (hint: an eastern european Jew) changes the entire meaning of the sentence by turning a statement into a question...
