    Here's my take: these threads are good because they help you kill the mythological "Stalin who did nothing wrong" from your head. More importantly if we're going to start #cancelling people for things they did we're going to have to cancel a lot of anarchist writers for anti-semitism and even Marx because he cheated on his wife with their maid.

    The point is no-one is perfect, Stalin did some good things, Stalin did some bad things, most importantly Stalin has been dead for 70 years and when de-stalinization happened they also threw out Lenin which fucked over the whole Soviet Union in the long run.

      the mythological “Stalin who did nothing wrong”

      How can anyone think this when Stalin clearly stopped at Berlin?

      This is a bit right? Impregnating a 14 year old is not on the same level of despicable as cheating wtf

        I don't think I ever implied that but just for the sake of clarity:

        Fucking a 14 year old until miscarriage and then until pregnancy is not on the same level of despicable and is in fact worse than creeping on your employee until she fucks you in the same bed where you fuck your wife.

      Good, most famous anarchist writers are garbage, anyway. At least Stirner had the good sense to squander an entire inheritance on an absurdist milk shop and die from a bug bite rather than knocking up a teenager. Or worse, suggesting one should vote for a Democrat.
