Given that this community has generally positive view of Stalin, I’m curious what he did that my comrades find irredeemable or out of line. Since it’s easy to criticize the Soviet Union from a western perspective, bonus points if you explain how this was detrimental to the development of socialism and/or communism.

    1. Deportation of Wolga Germans based on ethnicity instead if class

    2. Outlawing homosexual partnerships between men

    3. That he didn’t support the popular front in the Spanish civil war more

    4. Stopping after Berlin

    5. Stopping before Tokyo

    Only the first 2 are big mistakes imo

    Great leader overall
