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’m replying later because I don’t have a lot of time. Some people gave jobs and families

    Yeah, the comment is gone so that can be called “deleted”

    Since I can’t see anymore what I wrote there I’m not in a place to say much about what you’re saying.

    Either way, echo chamber
