Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

The book to read on this is Domenico Losurdo's "Stalin, history and critique of a black legend".

An excellent recommendation and essential reading imo. So much red scare propaganda is based on the Stalin bad narrative and this book dismantles that narrative with actual, material evidence. Something that Khrushchev and the anti-communist propagandists never offered.

It's a very special book, it also only uses contradictions among anti-communist sources to debunk the narratives. Sources like Arendt, Conquest, even Hitler and Goebbels.
