Cool mustache, utter asshole otherwise.
Trotsky would have been a better successor to Lenin, but would have ended up about as much an asshole.
Bad dude did something good so he could continue to be a bad dude. That makes him a bad dude.
Only replace bad with heinous.
Stalin when Hitler betrayed him and stabbed him in the back:

i think he probably wasn't AS BAD as they say, because of how cold war propaganda was. it's hard not to reevaluate people like him a little when every GOP chud calls anyone with a semblance of good policy ideas "left of Lenin"
fascinating figure. struck the perfect balance between marxist-leninist true believer and cold hard political pragmatist, with horrifically catastrophic policy externalities, but arguably keeping the soviet state intact much longer than it otherwise would have lasted.
I don't really have one, he's not as easy to imitate as Trump or Hitler.Start with Lou Albano's Mario, nudge the accent towards ambiguously-russian, then end every sentence with "to gulag!"

Jfc he killed more people than Hitler
I am begging you to stop this
except arguably maoMao is still the champion, yes.
I don't think Stalin was a true believer, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to purge the actual true believers. He's a textbook example of a guy taking a cause that resonated with the people and converting it into a cult of personality. Willing to sacrifice any amount of people to maintain power and violently paranoid of anyone not perceived fully 100% onboard with the national agenda.
The Nazi thing isn't really a credit, he was perfectly fine working with them until they moronically attacked him, we don't praise gang members just for killing rival gang members.
Mao is still the champion, yes.

Good lord. This post is embarrassing.
He is responsible for the deaths of millions of people. His country literally went through a destalinization period after he died because of how bad his policies and cult of personality were.
yeah even the soviets denounced stalin after he died.Dude got Juan Carlos'd before Juan Carlos did it.
i think if lenin or trotsky had been at the helm during all of the 20s-ww2 the soviets would have probably lost.All Russia has ever had to do on defense is go hide out somewhere and wait for winter. It's worked every time.

He has a shop round here that sells handbags.

It's hard to imagine how anyone might have a favorable opinion of Stalin
