Did he do anything wrong? I need the truth. Did he only kill reactionaries and nazis? If so I got full tankie maoist asap

Stalin did nothing wrong.
He was a good Christian boy.
Of course there were some innocent people that were killed. I read about it. Some really envious people would denouce people they didn't liked to be sent to the gulag…but you know, it's colateral damage, it happens.
He personally killed 57 Anarcho-communists during the civil war in Ukraine…
you've got to crack a few eggs to make a shitty communist omelette
Making your ideology depended on person X doing Y is a little retarded tbh.
I mean of course he did some things wrong, but considering what he achieved I'd say the good definitely massively outweighs the bad. The only thing I really blame him for is not making preparations for a transition of power after his death, leaving his legacy up for destruction by careerists.
Any actual facts?
He killed who needed to be killed and it worked. When the revolution comes again you can bet we are going to be rounding up the piggies and subversives once again as it should be. If you're not with us you're against us.

there is no soviet wikipedia
kek.
Dindu nuffin. Communism is achieved with literal dictatorship.
He did a lot of terrible things but he wasn't alone on them. This Great Man History shit needs to stop.
oh it's this stupid meme again
read Marx
WEW
He did what was necessary.
Perhaps then we would get a better picture of who he was that wasn't obscured or skewed by propaganda and time.
I think what Stalin did or didn't do is largely irrelevant at this point and we should hope anything bad he might have done doesn't happen again.
oh it's this stupid meme again
whatever he did, it worked
Russia stayed with Socialism for over 50 years
...
not real socialism™
Sure workers had all the power over means of production and not the party`s central committee.
they will have even more power when they pander to corporations with socdems amirite
Quality argument.
They will have free trade unions where a communist party does not push down their wages or increase their workload like in China and Vietnam. Without freedom to something basic as forming a trade union how can you expect workers to follow you?
...
Every single revolution that has had any relative success started spontaneously.
...
Good way to shit up a crop.
and you guys wonder why us "tankies" call you liberals? seriously?
kek.
Yes he did, because nobody is perfect. Icon worship of any commie leaders would have Marx turning in his grave. Tbh, regardless of whether or not he did anything wrong, trying to "save" his image is bad praxis because the average person has been spoonfed ideology their whole life, so they think you're no better than a nazi trying to save Hitler's image. It's just not really useful for anything. History is history. Focus on the here and now. Focus on what we can provide materially to the cause. Debating which dead person has the moral high ground is utterly pointless.
He indirectly killed hundreds of millions and directly killed about 400.
He was famous for his signature move the Peoples Elbow.
he certainly did:
besides all of the above, he was a nice man, i guess.
oh please
what's your point? is he guilty or not?
directly guilty
Literally had all his friends - the Old Bolsheviks - murdered. Recriminalized homosexuality - came up with the shitty & un-dialectical "theory" of Socialism in One Country to cover his ass for the public - undid much of Lenin's work - was a fucker
...
Better than Londonistani Corbynism.
Blow it out your ass.
No. He did everything he wanted to do, right.
Lenin did everything wrong. And that's why we need to do the same, but right.
Point is, he was a faggot and he wanted to do faggotry.
Would be best if he stoped at robbing banks for the party.
Only the Purge was wrong, though.
Not everyone is a tankie here
