He also did something unforgivably cringe in 1953

Followed through with his fifth resignation attempt without obtaining central committee consent, breaking democratic centralism disgost

With Fash and Slavers its all the same, don't stop until you see the Atlantic.

Common Liberal take.

You never stop. The Eternal Red Wave will live forever.

That's the best part comrade! The world is round; you'll get to the Atlantic eventually sicko-jammin

And what's a few extra (hundred) laps. It's the only way to be sure :posadist-ellen-ripley:

If Stalin did nothing wrong then why do the Baltic States exist?

Ayn Rand obtained a visa to travel to the US under his watch, leading to her obtaining US citizenship and becoming arch gusano

You can't use that word! It's a slur against persons of segregated casino owner descent.

There are conspiracy theories that he was poisoned.

His own damn fault. If Xi can teleport into the homes of children who play too many video games, Stalin sure as shit could've pulled up to the conspiracists and said "nothing personnel kid"

I do think it'd be good to have a discussion of the purge of the old bolsheviks at some point. Such, I get folks like Trotsky and Tukh, but it doesn't seem that it was warranted for a lot of them. There's also the issue of Stalin demoting or purging any possible dynamic successor, so when he died you either had a wet blanket like Malenkov (and Zhdanov before he croaked), revisionists like Kruschev, or the piece of work that was Beria.

I know I have Stalin: Critique of a Black Legend downloaded, and some of the Grover Furr thesis is interesting, but that would require reading which is hard.

spoilerin reality, "Stalin" (i.e. the soviet military, so, not Stalin at all) had to stop at Berlin. From Washington Bullets by Vijay Prashad:
