He would single handedly come to represent despotism and tarnish communism and socialism globally pulling beautiful quotes like, ‘one death is a tragedy, a million deaths are a statistic,’ out of the bag.
That bastard of ego and menace, wee Joe Stalin.
Under his murderous dictatorship, millions upon millions would die through unnecessary famine, slave labour and especially his over zealous arm chair defence of his name sake, ‘
Stalin cannot be defended, his exploitative and animalistic treatment of the people flies in the face of true socialism, and he deserves to be lambasted, ridiculed and condemned for his mass mis-representation of socialism.
As a republican socialist, because of his crazed dictatorship, and state institutionalised paranoia, he has made the job of promoting a socialist system hugely difficult.
Following Lenin’s positive leadership, he laid the foundation for the crumbling of the
Of course his ruthless efficiency led to vast industrialisation and technological advances in the
The Gulags, slave labour, extreme hardship exploitative nature gave the West mega tonnes of propaganda against Socialism.
Totalitarianship is the ideology and lasting legacy of Stalin.
Let us condemn Stalin, call him the bastard that he was and move forward inspired by revolutionary figures who have placed the people at the core of their struggle, people like Bobby Sand’s, an activist, an ordinary person who played his part.
His views of ‘our revenge will be the laughter of our children’ as opposed to Joe’s ‘statistic’ quote.

To be fair though, the Soviet Union under Stalin did defeat the Nazis.
Joseph Stalin was a crazed dictator. He has tarnished the name of socialism and made it difficult for this generation to promote a socialist system as people equate it to slave labour, paranoid state and loss of civil liberties.
Socialists should disown him, distance themselves from what he represents.

Stalin never made the statement you quote. It is a fabrication repeated by anti-communists to discredit the leadership of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Your views are not based on study, but on prejudice. I encourage you to find a copy of Another View of Stalin by Ludo Martens of the Belgian Workers' Party. Also see blog called the Marxist-Leninist. The publications of the Stalin Society in London are also worth studying.

The quote you attribute to Stalin is a falsification. It is repeated in many places to justify anti-communism. It is a lie.
"No investigation, no right to speak" a quote from another important communist. I encourage you to study "Another View of Stalin" by Ludo Martens of the Workers' Party of Belgium, also publications by the Stalin Society of London and Ella Rule, easy to access is the blog called "The Marxist-Leninist" here in the US.
All the parties in the world that reject Stalin end up being social-democratic or labor parties of a bourgeois type.
Stalin's contributions far outweigh his mistakes. I think many oppressed peoples study his theoretical writings on the National Question.

Your are completely right.Stalin alone murdered more of his people than all the dead of both world wars.That comment that was made about anti communists is so pathetic as the Socialists and Communists have nothing to prove their idealogies as they are a failure.Fidel castro said so recently.When they hear the truth their only line of defence is anti communist propaganda.Its like the National Sociialism Nazi supporters saying there was no Holocost
Poor Tom
You are so misguided.
Ive read 4 books on stalin inc Another View of Stalin by Ludo Martens of the Belgian Workers' but there are books out there saying Hitler,the Nazis,Polpot,Idi Amin etc taht would convince you how great they were and fools believe it.Tom research stalin and not be ciming out with worthless words.
I honestly cant believe what Tom is at as all you have to do is look at recent history ie Berlin wall etc.Ive read Stalins Russia,Repression under Stalin,Stalins Paranoia and Stalin in ww2.Because of his Paronia crazy decisions were made and if not carried out the Officer would be shot and his family sent to Siberia.Tom you are either a young child or having a laugh.
Stalin did not defeat the Nazis, The snows and cold in Russia did
