Damn, “Stalin is not a good guy, but he made great points here and there” bro WHAT
Replace Stalin with Hitler and it’s the same vibe, stop trying to defend the thing that killed millions of people : Communism
No, this is absurd. During the first 3 decades of the USSR’s existence, ie the core years with Stalin as head of state, life expectancy over doubled from the mid-30s to the low-70s, housing was free or up to ~4% of incomes, education and healthcare were free and high quality, there was sweeping democratization, and society went from what was known as a “feudal backwater” with living standards common to the 1500s to a developed country that even competed with the US Empire in the space race. Socialism was dramatically better than Tsarism and modern capitalism, and the vast majority that lived in it want it back.
The Nazis, on the other hand, instituted industrialized mass-murder, solidified capitalist rule, killed off communists, labor organizers, disabled people, queer people, and more, as well as the mass slaughtering of Jewish peoples, slavic peoples, and more. What you are doing is Holocaust trivialization. I recommend reading Blackshirts and Reds. You also may want to read some of the articles, essays, and books listed under “demystifying Stalin,” all are free to read and easy to do so on mobile.
