Rearranging can work for some contexts, but not for all. The most straightforward example would be if you were transcribing something spoken by someone else. You could try to blame them for speaking "wrong", but that's beside the point. They said what they said, and you have to write it down.
Do you put the Oxford comma in or not?
For me, the most important factor in answering that question is the fact that in speech, it's typical that there will be more of a pause between "stalin" and "and" in a list of 3 than there would be in a list of just 2. So there's no comma in lists of just 2, but there is a comma, including the Oxford comma, in lists of 3 or more.
At its core, written language is a way of representing spoken language. There are many cases in which this in not a one-to-one—a choice of em dash, brackets, or commas for parenthetical might have very little (if any) difference in how it is pronounced in the spoken word, for example—but hopefully we can all agree that there is at least a rough correlation there. And when "A B and C" has a similar pause between "B" and "and" as it has between "A" and "B", it makes more sense to write "A, B, and C" than "A, B and C".
