    Anyone who has ever read stalin knows…

    People who use “stalinist” in a derogatory manner is like using the word “field medic” derogatorily a complete and utter idiot.

      The more I read about Stalin the more I understand that the average westerner pretty much owes their lives and any quality of life to the USSR while it was under his collective leadership. As per their liberal paradigms and their Great Man understanding of history every one of their homes should have a shrine to him (I want to make it clear, though, I don’t have such metaphysical sentiments).

      The term “stalinist”: it’s the equivalent of considering someone who understands and accepts Einstein’s theories of general and special relativity as Einsteinist rather than as someone who accepts the science of the physics explained by it (parallels with the science of marxism).
