"Stalin was a brutal dictator"

The proper leftist meme format.
- Yes. It's wonderful. You need to read the CIA papers to comment
Here's the link in clickable form
- I would highly suggest not linking to the CIA's website directly 😁
  
  Why not? What're they going to do, spy on you more?
  
  Do you really think it's that dangerous?
- Thanks for the link! I always question these things when it's just an image especially as the language in there didn't seem so professional lol
Oh so now you believe the CIA?
"Those who hate the working class and the people, those who hate peace, those who hate and fear the conception of international fraternity, have always hated and feared Stalin, the man of peace, of international fraternity, the champion of the working class and the people who labour. They feared and slandered him in his life and they feared and slandered him at his death."
He was brutal though w.r.t our standards and norms. But the problem is everyone in the politburo was brutal. Lol
- Take aside from what the original commenter said, I will not comment on that. But this "they are bad, so it's okay that we are bad too" defense is complete bullshit
- He was brutal though w.r.t our standards and norms
  Nooo you can't execute the nazi officer, you have to give him a job at NATO or NASA!!!
OK, teenager.
- If you think being a teenager is an insult, then even if OP were one, you should be embarrassed that one bested you in argument.
  Unless you’re suggesting that the CIA was filled with a bunch of teenager tankies?
- Idk, I personally think that being the leader of the nation that fought the hardest and lost the most citizens in the fight against Nazism deserves praise. Also his Collectivization of Rural Areas worked well, besides Kulaks who would rather watch their farms and crops burn than see it collectivized.
- 40 hours a week here. Pay my own bills. Agree entirely with OP. Stalin was, in fact, a very good man, and partially responsible for the liberation of Europe from Nazi occupation. The ideological progeny of those same Nazis like yourself, NATO, and the EU will never forgive him for it, nor the millions of brave Red Army soldiers and Soviet civilians who fought, struggled and died against them.
- The CIA were teenagers, only on reddit-lite will you hear this.
- Die
Yes he was:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulag
These Lenin/Stalin worship posts are shameful. You are being as big of a fool as neonazis. Instead of wasting time with memes learn history and stop worship idiots.
- Gulags were prisons. And they were, in many ways, more humane and rehabilitation-focused than any Western prisons. This is scratching the surface of the issue.
  The real issue is you not bothering to fathom that the capitalists will fight tooth and nail, including psychologically, to stop the rise of the singular ideology that threatens their millenia of power.
  
  I understand that there is a mountain of propaganda convincing you that Stalin was evil, but literally name one thing supposedly wrong witb LENIN. Nothing, not even the usual CIA and Nazis could be bothered to make up stories about him.
  You are operating under the assumption of, "well, all the people around me say these people are evil, so, they must be!"
  
  Also in an average year of the gulag, about 40 percent of prisoners were released, meaning sentences weren’t long
  
  Can't you see that you are pretty much doing psyop yourself? There's no such thing as a good dictator. Stalin isn't good because they sentenced to dead less political prisoners than the Tsar or Hitler. They are all shit. Do not worship a dictator.
- "learn history" we did, you're the one who should stop using wikipedia as source for controversial political topics
  
  early '900 and ww2 are well documented even on Wikipedia, unless you are one of these who find the holocaust controversial
- NOT
  THE
  FUCKING
  WIKEPEDIA LINKS 😭😭😭
  I can't with y'all anymore
  
  Everybody knows that Wikipedia is literally unrefutable fact, especially on controversial or political topics. Why would someone lie or omit facts on the internet??? Next you're going to tell me that I can't trust CIA press releases too!!!
  
  We have no choice but to abandon communism.
  
  Why not?
- Wikipedia links? Really?
  I'd get it if you came in like: buh whaddaboud diss?
  But nah, you accused us of worshipping these men and compared us to neonazis (btw the USSR ended the fucking holocaust and made antisemitism punishable by death).
  Do some self-reflection. You do not know what you are talking about in the slightest, and we do.
- Tell me sincerely, because I want to get into the mind of someone like you, do you really believe that wikipedia is a trustworthy source on literally anything? Like deep down, when you go fetch a wikipedia link, do you really think "yeah I'll just link wikipedia then I won't have to make a point myself"?
  
  Wikipedia is trustworthy enough for famous historical events, you won't find write in it that the gulags weren't real
- https://dessalines.github.io/essays/socialism_faq.html#did-the-soviet-union-repress-and-kill-millions-of-people
  Consolidated sources refuting this.
- Hey what did lenin do? He was a clean man and did nothing absolutely wrong. What did your founding father do? Genocide, colonialism, stealing lands from Mexico... Oh slavery, tons of slavery..
  
  Obviously he forged Stalin’s spoon, which was directly responsible for the murder of 10,000,000,000 Ukrainians
- learn history
  Good advice.
  
  Why read Marx when you have Wikipedia you know
- Oh hey, you're in this meme! Smile for the cameras
- 😂😂
