    Stalin maybe. Lenin? He was a hero to the working class. I’d really like to see your sources on how Lenin was one of “history’s worst communist leaders”.

      Some instances on Lemmy are going through a Red Scare, I doubt they can explain.

        I feel like someone who has an account on .ml might be biased

        Also I’m not sure I’d call it a “red scare” when Hexbear is openly praising Putin and Xi Jinping

          I am a Marxist, yes.

          Hexbear doesn’t praise Putin, but they do praise Xi, quite a bit.

      I suppose there’s not a lot of communist leaders to choose from in general, but Kronstadt happened on Lenin’s watch and it would be a bit disingenuous to pretend this was controversy free amongst the left and working classes.
