      yes, the US is shit, moving on.

      Stalin is celebrated because of the rapid industrialisation and his correct prediction of the need to do it to defeat enemies, which came true with the WW2 and the Nazis being defeated by their army.

      Hey, now, don’t be disingenuous. Stalin was perfectly okay with Nazi Germany and wanted an equal share in the invasion of Poland. They only helped the Allies after Nazi Germany betrayed them. If Nazi Germany didn’t betray the Union, then the Union would’ve been okay with their existence.

      And when some people include POW imprisonment for gulag data and Nazi deaths in the war as Stalin’s kill count, some leftists would counter it.

      And you doubt this? Do you doubt that Stalin’s soviet union rounded up Jews, queers and minorities for the main purpose being extermination?

          Minorities are minorities. Some religions, queers, poc, etc~ countries that the soviet union annexed. Ukrainians were considered a minority.

              Because the Soviet Union was vehemently antisemitic.

              And Ukraine wasn’t a primary target of repression? Are you forgetting the holodomor?

                  I’m assuming you’re just blissfully unaware of the antisemitism within the Soviet Union.

                  We’ll take the Doctor’s Plot as an example. The Soviet Union created a campaign where they said that Jewish doctors intended to kill leading communists, which of course was just to purge more jews.

                  Also what do you mean by good job?

          But regarding the Nazis, Stalin opposed them, but was forced to be pragmatic for the safety of his nation. I have no reason to hate him for that. I sort-of respect him for that.

          You respect him for siding with fucking nazi germany when it came to the invasion of poland? Get a big heavy banhammer, tankie. Try again when you don’t respect Stalin.
