9k:RD/ the world's greatest bully (Q46,91)

Main entry

Stalin's abuser (motif) / the world's greatest bully who was scary enough to make Stalin hide in the shadows -> I am so tired of people assuming that just because they can badmouth Stalin they must be more Good rather than more Evil. how do you know that? how do you really know you have done anything more than overpower your enemies? I've eaten up everyone's "Stalin was Evil" ~~pronounced censored~~ all my life and all it's taught me is that claiming you can shut other people up because you're better than them is unacceptable. which should make anticommunism and trying to undermine Stalinism unacceptable, because it commits the same error that Stalin supposedly made. if you are actually better than Stalin, you ironically have no right to order Stalin around and every obligation to defend the Third World from the United States.

Speaking of the concept of a "reformed Communist" is like saying "reformed gay person" or "reformed transgender person" -> this is my proposition, but it reminded me a lot of what Trotskyists have said about the Moscow Trials, so I put it in this range. because really, if your Marxism is Trotskyism then you would be tossing 'Trotskyist' in there.
Starlight Glimmer episodes + love bombing = this. Kirin episode + love bombing = this.
Stalin except evil / Dark Stalin (fictional scenario) / Stalin as Trotskyists see him (only in the most exaggerated cases of "Trotskyist history") / (9k)
