Horrible shit like checks notes defeating the nazis, radidly industrializing what was once an incredibly poor region in only 2 decades, and ending the famines that had been wracking the region for centuries. What a monster.
My very first real post here was this. I made the argument that even if all the insane crap that Stalin is accused of doing were true, it pales in comparison to what the US actually did. Why is it okay to ignore all that murder and villainy, and instead focus on Stalin, who was actually trying to make things better for the working people, instead of enriching the rich?
Is communism nothing without Stalin? You’re gonna lose a lot of support by trying to prop this asshole up

Seriously, why all the hate on Stalin?
We already lost “a lot of support” anyways for being communists… what good would denying the good he did for the USSR and the world be?
Just conveniently ignoring all the horrible shit he did?

His industrialization was pretty rad it’s undeniable
He murdered one hundred million straight white capitalist men.
I’m glad western leaders never did horrible shit.
That doesn’t change what Stalin is
Cite stuff then, give us what you have on him.
Is there a list of pre-approved sources I can use?
Anything of quality would be nice, and just like a school teacher: no, Wikipedia is not a good source.
And if you won’t care at all about quality, why should we?

Stalin: Let’s feed the hungry people!
Lib: Why are you supporting this asshole?
Yet nobody’s been flocking over to the left communists, anarchists, or Trotskyists last time I checked. Funny that.
Please, state some reasons to call him asshole for.
