Could it have anything to do with saving the entire world from the Third Reich by being the leader of the only military that actually stood up and ended the Nazi reign of terror, defeated 80% of the Nazi military, marched all the way to Berlin, and through Berlin, before any allies showed up, and liberated the concentration camps?
No. It's probably vibes.
Stalin didnt do it. The soldiers in the soviet union made that happen. Then after the war The Great Comrade purged a lot of commanders who defeated the nazis. heres a great podcast about him. its one of my favorite episodes.
I love this talking point from anarchists and leftcoms because it lays bare their complete commitment to debate perversion and unwillingness to actually think.
If Stalin didn't defeat the Nazis, then Hitler didn't kill Jews, Blacks, Queer folx, Roma, etc, didn't commit genocide, and didn't invade anyone. Bush didn't invade Iraq. bin Laden didn't attack the US. Truman didn't save 10k Nazis. Trump didn't bomb Iran.
But even more so, it also means Stalin didn't starve anyone, Stalin didn't imprison anyone, and Stalin didn't relocate anyone.
This is one of those things that just reveals you for who you are.
