If your claim is that he's bad because he killed people and we show that capitalists killed more people that seems like a relevant counterargument, no? Or do bad things only count when state department propaganda agrees with you?
What do you think you're countering with that argument? No one was discussing communism vs capitalism in this argument. Just: Stalin was an evil man.
Saying someone else was more evil doesn't unmurder all those people, does it? You've countered no part of anyone's argument because no one mentioned anything about what you think you've countered. You just tried to distract from the fact that you idolize a piece of shit. It's bizarre you can't grasp that.
Glorifying a murder doesn't help gather support for your economic system of choice. Get a better face for your movement.
How was Stalin an "eViL" man when all he did was to kill some Nazis? Thats like calling an antibiotic evil for killing bacteria.
"If I condemn everything and everyone, that makes me the most pure! Actually try to make the world better? That would only degrade my purity!โ
