              They are saying that Stalin was a genocidal imperialist.

              Sure, he wasn’t a capitalist genocidal imperialist… but he was still a genocidal imperialist.

              EDIT: Unless I am mistaken, English is not your first language.

              Being against imperialism and genocide makes you a Stalinist?

              Never heard of being against Stalin as Stalinism.

              If you do this…

              Being against imperialism and genocide Stalin makes you a Stalinist?

              or this

              Never heard of being against Stalin imperialism and genocide as Stalinism

              You can hopefully see that the reply to your post is equivocating Stalin with imperialism and genocide, that is, saying they are one and the same.

              You may or may not agree with this, but I’m trying to just illustrate how to understand their reply.

                Thanks for clearing it up! You are correct, English is not my first language. But I’d like to think I’m on the road to C2/proficiency

                Usually I can grasp stuff like this but stress is not rly helping my sleep-deprived brain ^^’

                  Hey, no problem!

                  … sometimes a brief reading of someone’s previous comments can actually be done in good faith, to attempt to better understand someone…

                  … even though its often done by poorly intentioned hyperbolic trolls.

                  But yeah, as with most people I meet in the internet whose first language is not English, but are conversing in it…

                  You speak and understand English better than most Americans I meet and know in the real world.

                  Seriously, the average American has the reading comprehension of approximately a 6th or 7th grader… a 12 year old.

                  Our education system is horrifically bad compared to every other ‘developed’ nation.

          Nah, im with you in this one, but offen when I get into discussions on Lemmy forums, no matter if you base your views on marx and you want a council system, someone will come and front you of being a libtard, and then you waste hours trying to argue with them just to see they are authoritarian to to point where everyone who doesn’t love Stalin or thinks minorities shouldn’t be oppressed is just a libtard and loves America in their political “spectrum”

        glad you got over it!

        I had some second thoughts about permabanning some ppl here in terms of rehabilitation, but this isn’t Reddit, if ppl really changed for the better they could just create an account on another instance in no time to participate here again. And they’d be welcomed back with open arms!
