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.

    How do you define what a Nazi is?

    Do counter revolutionaries deserve to be sent to worker camps where the conditions are so bad many die?

    “Send people who don’t agree with my world view to worker camps” Doesn’t feel like a good thing

      Are you part of the Canadian parliament, per chance?
