It's okay to shit on Stalin on a Marxist-Leninist board, the synthesizer of Marxism-Leninism? MLs don't uphold Stalin as a god, but we also don't engage in historical nihilism, cedeing the historical narrative to the bourgeoisie and liberal historian perspectives. Stalin was no saint, but was far more effective and moral than contemporary leaders like Churchill and Hitler.
