    That’s quite the hot take on a man who’s in the same league as Hitler for murdering his own citizens…

      You understand that equating Stalin to Hitler is a tactic used by neo-nazis, right? You have 10 seconds to comment “I am not a nazi, neo or otherwise, and I praise the USSR every day for hunting them down to the last one” or you’ll get banned

        Wow. Way to insult me / something I have no ability to change. I have changed my opinion on Stalin due to your thoughtful reply. /s

        du Bois was an important leader but I would like to hope he made these comments on Stalin before he knew about the millions of dead ethnic Russians killed by Stalin.

          How could he know about it? The U$ propaganda wasn’t written yet.
