Honestly I don't get his fixation with defending Stalin specifically. Stalin wasn't the entirety of the USSR, just it's leader at a pivotal moment, and like most leaders he had flaws. If anything defending this one specific person in a leadership role of the USSR is a detriment to the reputation of the institution as a hole, the achievements of the Soviet Union weren't Stalin's alone. It really screams "I just worship a cult of personality" instead of "I'm trying to do an honest defense of a socialist project that has been smeared by most."
He is the most slanderd one so it makes sense to defend him 95% of anti soviet propaganda is connected to Stalin no even the biggest lib gives a shit about slandering brezhnev or khrushchev
i dont see the obssesion with some weird middle ground between lib that belives everything and crazy tankie
it comes off as the dumb thing leftists do where they say "maybe there is no Uyghur genocide"but there is still some bad things going on"
Why is this a dumb thing? If there are actual bad things shouldn't you mention the bad things? Of course it's dumb if you just take the midpoint of western propaganda vs chinese propaganda to do a "both sides" thing but I don't see why you wouldn't mention the bad things if you know for sure they're there.
Because the Person conceding to atrocity propaganda just to look nauced and the worst psrt they arent saying it because they believe it they are saying it because they are scared that saying the latest state department narrtive is 100% bullshit makes them look crazy so they go with this 80/20 bullshit.
You should never ever concede to propaganda against countries to look respectable .
