Stalin was not a hero.
Was any one person more responsible for defeating Nazi Germany?
I think it's kind of funny that the Dems and Republicans are STILL aggressively bickering with each other over the election on Twitter. When people say that the two party system has distracted the working class and created an illusion of choice, they are certainly not wrong.
The comment section of that post is full of libs with #resistance in their bio calling Stalin a fascist. It's so predictable.
there are a lot of real quotes from communists that are good takes, but sound ominous to people already primed to dislike the person saying it, and I thought this was one of those situations
like when I saw a conservative chud quote Mao's "political power grows from the barrel of a gun" to show that Mao was a bad dude
even though that's almost the same as the reasoning behind the US second amendment, something most US conservatives agree with, and if it was attributed to George Washington or some shit, they'd eat it up (new bit idea btw)
but it's actually a bit different here because they are explicitly agreeing with what Stalin allegedly said while still condemning him
