If true, cool, but I don't think that is convincing to anyone that disagrees in the slightest.

You can talk about his accomplishments of tactically industrializing the agrarian country to an industrial power quickly to eliminate the nazi threat, which is more punchy than

"people talk shit about me now, but wait a few generations and they'll say i was right"
- I mean yea. But did you ever talk to an actual liberal irl? I once got called crazy (by multiple people in a group 😥) for saying that without Stalin Hitler would have won the war.
  
  But look who agrees with you 😊
  
  As Chuev records, Molotov stated that he was "not interested in who said what and where, who spat on what...Lenin didn't write memoirs, nor did Stalin [...] I write about socialism -- what it is and, as peasants say, 'what we need it for.'
  
  Much like capitalists don't make goods, Stalin didn't win a war. Great man theory is lib shit.
Is it confirmed that he actually said that?
- It's according to Molotov's recollection. From Сто сорок бесед с Молотовым by Felix Chuev:
  
  Stalin himself, I remember, said during the war: “I know that after my death, my grave will be piled with rubbish. But the winds of history will ruthlessly dispel it!
  
  Just to get it right. Felix Chuev said that Molotov said that he remembers Stalin said that?
  
  Is that enough to say with confidence that Stalin actually said it? (serious question, don't mean to suggest Stalin did not say it; I hope so much that he said it, that I want to be as sure as possible 🙈)
Za Stalina! ❤️
fuck off fascist
- "everyone I don't like is red fash"
Weak, weak bait.

For those not in the know, you can be against capitalism and still think that Stalin was an irredeemable cunt. These ideas are not mutually exclusive.
- You always know it's gonna be a banger when it triggers the slur filter
  
  TIL it’s not people actually commenting *removed* literally
- Mhm. Can't see it. The man was admirable in every regard one might expect from a leader. Likeliest explanation is that you're merely misinformed, bordering on ignorant, proving the post's point.
  
  Lecturing a person from a Finnish instance about how Stalin was "admirable in every regard" is a bold move.
- Time to read Losurdo book on Stalin, seems like uou completely ate corn man secret speech.
