Stalin is a flawed figure, but goddamn did he kill some Nazis

Murdering your own people = “flawed”? He was a monster. Him helping to defeat a different monster doesn’t change that.

See this is what we’re talking about, you correctly see through some lazy capitalist mythologies (such as anarchists being mindless drug-addled destruction junkies with no political goals other than chaos) but fail to see through others, such as “Stalin was The Guy in charge of the USSR and he killed eighty bazillion people through nonspecific means, for no reason other than he was The Joker”.

Non specific means? Even if you ignore the orchestrated famine, He enacted paranoid political purges of engineers, scientists, academics, etc. Those are direct murders of people he didn’t like. And you’re over here like: he’s misunderstood. And your defense is: nuh uh/Whataboutism.

At no point did I defend capitalism. I said Stalin was a monster. And that’s an indisputable fact.
