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?

    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?
