They openly idolize Stalin. That's not from a couple rogue users

    The guy who spent his youth robbing banks to fund a revolution, succeeded, went on to beat the nazis, and helped lay the foundation for the greatest increase in standards of living in the modern age outside of China?

    Even if you accept legitimate criticisms about the guy, such as interning/relocating populations in the wake of WWII, various loses the CPC took due to following his mandates, his failure to support Korea, etc, and understand him as a part of a greater machine accomplishing these things rather than the idealist "great man theory" nonsense that encourages hero worship in the first place, it's hard not to idealize revolutionary heros like him and Fidel.

    Stalin was a fine with Hitler. Helped Hitler invade Poland. Killing some of my family. Then massacring ethnic polish at home, killing more family. Stalin only turned against Hitler after Hitler crossed him. That the Soviet Union helped defeat Hitler was fine. But doesn't excuse allying with him first. Or the Soviet genocides and oppression.

    Deep down I want to know if you're lying deliberately because you're a nazi or if you're just a particularly stupid person.

    Hitler had a book. In it he said what he wanted to do. The leadership of the Soviet Union read this book. They did not think they were friends with Hitler.
