A guy I know, real nice guy but super liberal, was telling me how his Cuban grandfather suffered under Castro. Sure enough, when he got into more details, it turns out his grandfather was a wealthy landlord whose farmland got collectivized and he only had to go to jail after he got very vocal about trying to get people to oppose the revolution (in which he was very much the minority BTW, his own friend turned him in)

Apparently it is available on Hulu which I happen to have. I wouldn’t go out of my way to watch it, but it would be extremely convenient now. So I don’t think for one second that Hulu would host anything which is even remotely praising of Stalin, but I’m wondering if it is at least tolerable for a socialist viewer. Is there any historical accuracy at all? Does humor and entertainment outweigh the ideological position of capitalist Hollywood at all? Will I just get mad if I watch it, or can I enjoy it in the sense that no western media will ever do justice to the history of the USSR and its ok to laugh a little?

Yes PSL is based. Like every single org in existence ever, they have had problems. But these are extremely few and far between, and the good work they do for the communities where they have branches is really great. Several prominent members also do a lot of great journalism and education like Brian Becker, Eugene Puryear, Derek Ford, Walter Smolarek, etc.

US, Israel, and Ukraine are great answers that others already said but let's not forget South Korea who were so brutal in the Vietnam War that even the Americans told them to chill out
