Stalin is socialism’s worst enemy

Close with this statement but needs to figure out that it's fictional Stalin in the minds of the people that has created this problem. The solution is correcting the fiction, not reinforcing it by agreeing with the opposition to socialism that he was bad.

The fictional Stalin they created is a punching bag boogieman rigged up to constantly give easy punches against socialism.

I agree with you, but some (many?) on the Western left would prefer not to be associated with the baggage of the Soviet Union. They believe it will turn people away from socialism.
