Don't mistake your opinion for everyone's here?

Do you believe in double genocide theory?

I'm psychically sending you images of the Weenis right now.

Note: The Weenis is a dance.

Stalin's government massively improved the living conditions of working-class people, stopped the Holocaust and the Lebensraum (and was the most consistent and early enemy of nazi Germany), and helped anti-colonial movements.
Yeah, nah, I can't call Stalin's government 'shitty'.

Recognizing the atrocities that occurred under Stalin's rule

'Atrocities' such as guaranteed housing, guaranteed access to healthcare, liquidation of illiteracy (all consequences of planned economy, by the way), a massive increase of life expectancy, cessation of famines.
