    I don’t particularly care about the eastern bloc. I just usually hear people, even “communists” talk about Stalinism being a pretty bad thing.

      It was correct of you to put communists in quotes there.

          Because no actual communist would say anything of the sort.

              Yes, they absolutely would because Stalin, Lenin, and Mao drastically improved the conditions for the working majority. For example https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25495509/

              The overwhelming majority of Marxists worldwide do. Opposition to those 3 is largely a western thing.

                  The ritualistic demonization of revolutionaries is largely a western tradition.

                    Thats a funny take given American history (revolutionary war and the near deity status those revolutionaries have here) and contemporary attitudes. Can’t say much more or I’m betting it’ll be removed.
