History
This is the general history subcom. Anything relating to history is welcome here. Doesn't have to be Marxist, though it certainly can be. So join in on the discussion and let's learn more.
On the contrary, Stalin is a fantastic leader compared to the genocidal maniacs from the West. Also, lots of people quote Stalin. It is sad that you are unable to see Stalin's valuable contributions.
The opinions of ignorant westerners can be safely discarded. You chuds will happily Churchill who conducted a genocide in India, but when people quote Stalin who saved the world from your fascism then you get your panties in a bundle.
That high pitched noise you hear are your last couple of neurons trying to form a coherent thought.
That's not even an ad hominem, that's an insult. An apt one, I may add - your "typical liberal" ignorance is as massive as your arrogance. Truth is - you know nothing but CIA-regurgitated propaganda, and we're sort of tired of this lib shit.
I think you need to take a step back and re-examine your belief system if you think that you can equate a genocidal fascist with the person who defeated that genocidal fascist and liberated the concentration camps.
The fact that "to each his own" seems like a valid phrase for it is the problem with your reality and the way it has been constructed for you. The Soviet Union did not have the luxury of saying "to each their own" about Nazi Germany. They had to fight it and took great losses in doing so. And the fascists, the nazis, the colonialists of the world never forgave them for it; they vilified communism as a horrible evil, made up grand lies about it, and acted like the US, which entered the war very late, was some kind of key force in defeating Nazi Germany. The same US that took on former Nazis with Operation Paperclip. The same US which the Nazis learned from when making discriminatory laws, learned from the US's Jim Crow laws.
The sort of people who are cut from the same cloth as Nazis, who collaborated with them during and after the war, would like you to believe that peoples who took great losses in defeating Nazi Germany are actually the villain. Once you understand it like this, it's so much more clear what the dynamic is and it resolves the bizarre mental gymnastics of believing that the same Soviet Union that fought Nazi Germany is somehow "just as bad because waves con artist hands communism bad, something something repression yet inexplicably fought them instead of working together toward a similar purpose."
Notice that the most critical of communism generally can't explain what exactly is wrong with it beyond accusing its leaders of being corrupt or accusing it of not working fully as intended. The kind of accusations that can be accurately levied at every "liberal democracy". And atrocities like the US's genocide of indigenous population is somehow not attributed to its political modes and it's free to take on a badge of being freedom free?
