It’s okay to shit on Stalin on a Marxist-Leninist board, the synthesizer of Marxism-Leninism? MLs don’t uphold Stalin as a god, but we also don’t engage in historical nihilism, cedeing the historical narrative to the bourgeoisie and liberal historian perspectives. Stalin was no saint, but was far more effective and moral than contemporary leaders like Churchill and Hitler.
I didn’t say the USSR didn’t doctor photographs to remove purged members. In my reply to your upper level comment, I explained why the purges were necessary and elaborated on their context. Nothing I said in that comment is counter to reality, I even brought sources.
Then I’m confused at why you replied to my comment asking why you said it’s okay to shit on Stalin on a Marxist-Leninist community. The implication is that MLs are anti-Stalin, but the general consensus hangs around the CPC’s evaluation (given first by Mao) that Stalin was about 70% good, 30% bad.
How on earth do you think Stalin would have even accomplished that? By that time the USSR didn’t even have access to photoshop - hell nobody outside the cia even knew about it at the time
Fun fact: these photos were actually doctored by the cia to make him look more like a dictator.

It’s OK to shit on anyone when what they are saying is counter to, you know, REALITY.
Yes, Stalin was having photographs heavily redacted.
No, it wasn’t “the CIA”.

I never said the purges were un-necessary, and I wasn’t shitting on your comment.
I was shitting on the comment saying Stalin didn’t do it, it was the CIA.
It’s CLEAR Stalin did it, both the purges and the photo edits.

Shouldn’t you be banning yourself for “internet slap fighting” right about now?
