You could read actual works by Marx but it would require being able to read pages longer than a Wikipedia article.

Your assumption that the person you are talking to isn't familiar with it gives away that you are full of bullshit. Pick up a bunch of history books irl and read them from start to finish. Stop learning from memes and reddit posts.

Ok. I mean, I'm not going to do it IRL, since I have them on my tablet, but I'll go read Blackshirts and Reds, Triumph of Evil, the Book of the Hopi, The Cold War and Its Origins, The Hidden History of the Korean War. I'll also recommend you read them.

Edit: How could I forget Killing Hope?!

Read them all and draw your own conclusions on whether Stalin was a brutal dictator or someone to worship. I suggest you to read on paper or eink display to not strain your eyes.
