      Didn’t go far enough in denazifying the world, a consequence we now have to deal with today.

        Stalin was not perfect; for instance, he stopped at Berlin. But he also defeated Hitler and built the Soviet Union into an industrial superpower.

        You’re right, the millions of Nazis and Trotskyites killed by Stalin probably would not agree that he had a positive impact on humanity. Thankfully I am neither a Nazi nor a Trotskyite. Which are you?

          You could have named a couple of different WW2 leaders that helped defeat the Nazi, why chose the person that is arguably as bad as hilter?

            Stalin is definitely not “Arguably as bad as Hitler”. The only major WWII leaders who were actually “Arguably as bad as Hitler” were Mussolini, Hirohito, Churchill, and Truman.

            Just a heads up, conflating the guy who did the holocaust and the guy who ended it is literally antisemitism. That’s where like 90% of the hate for communism comes from, btw. That and ass-blasted slavers who now have to pay their employees humane wages because of unions.

            This one guy posted a really good resource that explains this in more detail if you want to know more, I sadly don’t have the link myself.

                  You guys are aweful blood thirsty… I was actually referring to how many of his own people he killed.

                    Killing nazis is self defence, why do you feel the need to defend the indefensible? And I already know what you’re getting at, the Black Book of Communism infamous for counting dead nazi soldiers as “victims” alongside a fuck ton of generous rounding and outright fabrications.
