      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.

        That doesn’t change what Stalin is

            Is there a list of pre-approved sources I can use?

              Anything of quality would be nice, and just like a school teacher: no, Wikipedia is not a good source.

              And if you won’t care at all about quality, why should we?

      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?
