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.
What I recommended was a Russian movie made by Russians that seals with very real historic events.
But I imagine that it’s easier to just call it “anticommunist” which is funny because that is really all what this movie is about.
Go watch it and see what Communism did and will do again.
