"Stalin wasn't a dictator! Even the CIA didn't think so!"
is not good propaganda. That's all the video is saying. We shouldn't care what the CIA thinks anyway, and we can discuss whether Stalin actually was or was not a "dictator" in another post.
Why isn't it good propaganda? What criteria are you making to determine that? And why should we ignore the CIA, whether it's internal analyses or external publications? It seems like your smuggling lots of idealistic principles into this.
