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.

I see someone hasn’t done the reading.

Start with an easy one, work your way up to the 19th century theory.

What part of this book which both confirms and agrees there were many politically motivated murders/imprisonments (even if it argues they were fewer than other sources claim) makes Stalin not a monster? It’s arguing over the scale of the bad shit he did, not whether he did it or not. Holy shit.

Stalin is not a monster because monsters aren’t real.

It’s arguing over the scale of the bad shit he did, not whether he did it or not.

The scale of bad shit he did you got from lifelong exposure to anti-communist propaganda. This misinformation isn’t neutral. It has a clear goal, and billions of dollars behind it over the last 100+ years, because the capitalist class fears nothing more than communism, because to date it’s been the only successful alternative to capitalism.

Your own source said he murdered a ton of people. That’s a bad person, regardless of the economic system the country they lead used. Why is that such a hard thing to grasp?

If you want to promote communism, don’t use a goddamn mass murderer to market it.

I didn’t provide any sources.

Killing bad people doesn’t undo killing good people. This isn’t the argument you think it is.

Hitler killed Hitler, didn’t undo all the bad he did. And wasn’t he a capitalist? Stalin wasn’t a good person just because Hitler stabbed his own ally in the back, and the ussr started killing their former allies . Or are we pretending Stalin hadn’t allied with the nazis in the beginning of the war, here?
