Is Death of Stalin good? Like, as a communist, is it going to leave me seething with rage, or is it something that kinda avoids actual political shit and can be laughed at?
It's propaganda, and it makes Stalin uniquely evil, centers around making :corn-man-khrush: look good. Recurring joke throughout the film are people being executed, at one point they're in the middle of a purge with firing squads, they get a phone call to halt the purge and stop executing mid-session.
Go into it with a very critical mindset and you'll find it does have some stellar humor and performances topped off by an amazing cast.
Highly recommended. It's about as accurate as a cast of mostly Americans not even doing accents. The setting is just window dressing for a really good dark comedy.
I didn't find it all that funny but I'm not a comedy movie sort of person. I found absolutely nothing wrong with it politically, though. Any unfair inaccuracies are clearly jokes.
It’s a good movie if you are a no nothing liberal.
The Left Media Podcast has an episode with Proles of the Round Table that is good at breaking down the inaccuracies, lies, and liberal propaganda of it. It’s a funny movie if you look at it from “office politics” way but I can’t stand how they do my boi Stalin in it. Worth at least one watch.

I mainly remember Steve Buscemi's performance and how he just played Steve Buscemi.
