I believe in socialism, but I feel Stalin shouldn't be idolised due to things like the Gulag.

I would like more people to become socialist, but I feel not condemning Stalin doesn't help the cause.

I've tried to have a constructieve conversation about this, but I basically get angry comments calling me stupid for believing he did atrocious things.

That's not how you win someone over.

I struggle to believe the Gulag etc. Never happened, and if it happened I firmly believe Stalin should be condemned.

Don't assume then, phallasy-based emotional reaction attacks are useless diversions. Learn theory, learn communication, learn.

Edit: lol the irony, those tactics aren't clever

Thank you for editing your post, it literally proves my point.

Maybe do not accept everything his detractors said about him as holy gospel. And stop projecting, holy shit.
