I believe in socialism, but I feel Stalin shouldn't be idolised due to things like the Gulag.

I would like more people to become socialist, but I feel not condemning Stalin doesn't help the cause.

I've tried to have a constructieve conversation about this, but I basically get angry comments calling me stupid for believing he did atrocious things.

That's not how you win someone over.

I struggle to believe the Gulag etc. Never happened, and if it happened I firmly believe Stalin should be condemned.

I like copy-pasta, and you got a good recipe, but I've been temp/perma banned to often to use it anymore these days. It being highly relevant didn't help me in the past.

Consider linking to your previous comment you've already made in the future. Perhaps those with delicate senses would clutch their pearls slightly less. Not that they matter.

Appreciate you stranger. Peace.
