Stalin is not a monster because monsters aren’t real.

It’s arguing over the scale of the bad shit he did, not whether he did it or not.

The scale of bad shit he did you got from lifelong exposure to anti-communist propaganda. This misinformation isn’t neutral. It has a clear goal, and billions of dollars behind it over the last 100+ years, because the capitalist class fears nothing more than communism, because to date it’s been the only successful alternative to capitalism.
