I can't think of anybody who made it more difficult for leftism to thrive in the developed world than Stalin. So gently caress him.

Nah, Stalin's awfulness gave them the ammunition they needed. e: Indeed, it's likely that the CIA, McCarthy, other anti-communists, etc, wouldn't have had nearly as much traction, had Stalin not been a murderous, imperialist fuckwad.

rudatron posted:Maybe, but the rhetoric lasted well past Stalin though It did, and I don't mean any of that to minimize the responsibility of grotesque, cynical fucks like McCarthy or Nixon or Hoover. Just that poo poo like the Great Purge, the Holodomor, etc, gave people like that enough ammo to keep beating on the anti-Communist drum long after Stalin's death.
