I believe in socialism, but I feel Stalin shouldn't be idolised due to things like the Gulag.

I would like more people to become socialist, but I feel not condemning Stalin doesn't help the cause.

I've tried to have a constructieve conversation about this, but I basically get angry comments calling me stupid for believing he did atrocious things.

That's not how you win someone over.

I struggle to believe the Gulag etc. Never happened, and if it happened I firmly believe Stalin should be condemned.

Your comment consists of 0 facts, an ableist slur, and a recommendation to watch a work of fiction designed specifically to push an anticommunist narrative. Moreover, the assertion that I must not have read is silly, I linked an article and a full history book in my comment, and have a Marxist reading list linked on my profile with a mix of theory and historical texts. Why would anyone take what you have said seriously?

Enjoy your echo chamber where Stalin was a good guy who was just misunderstood.

I'd have a conversation but as it's clear that any dissenting opinions will be immediately deleted, can't risk anyone getting wrong think now, just like in the good ol' Soviet Union, it's clear you don't want to hear facts, you just want your insane ideas reinforced.

If you were really right, my comment would not have been deleted.

What facts did you provide? Why do you believe removal proves you right? All you did was recommend anticommunist fiction and wag your finger, lmao.

If you really want to understand communism, watch G.P.U. I guarantee that by the ending, you'll revise every single thing with which your cultural Marxist masters indoctrinated you.

Never knew about that, I'm morbidly curious. Thanks for the post!
