Lenin and the Bolsheviks essentially legalized it though.
Nobody likes Stalin. If you do, think about your life and your place in the world

The lemmygrad, lemmy.ml and hexbear kids would be very angry, if they could read this.

If those Capitalist Apologists could read they would be quite upset.

This meme really triggered you, huh?

[-] SimplyTadpole@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago

ehhh, unfortunately I've met more than my fair share of people who unironically like Stalin.

Lots of actually good communist figures out there and they go out of their way to choose the homophobic drunk domestic abuser who kept a literal child rapist as his right-hand man.

Being the leader of the nation that defeated the Nazis gets you a lot of credit. Moreso when Nazis start cropping up again.

I think these days his iconography tends to just trigger those who would ultimately roll with fascism over communism.

I can't come up with a good, succinct comment on these parallel universes, but there sure is something about seeing these side by side.

Have you never hear of Trotskyism.

Trotsky is who Lenin wanted to take over the party after his death, but Stalin framed him as a power hungry authoritarian and took control of the party then forcing Trotsky to flee the USSR then had him murdered in Mexico to stop his criticisms of the USSR under Stalin's authoritarian reign.
