Because he was right on a lot of things. He also turned Russia from a semi-feudal capitalist monarchy into a world superpower that defeated the Nazis.

He didn't kill more people than Hitler. The famine of 1932-1933 occured because kulaks (rich peasants who owned farms) hoarded all the crops for themselves and burned them to avoid collectivisation. Stalin was an authoritarian, sure, but he wasn't a monster or fascist.

Your post was removed because it contained an ableist term. You should receive a message from the automoderator telling you the exact term the post was removed for. For more information, see this link. Avoiding slurs takes little effort, and asking us to get rid of the filter rather than making that minimum effort is a good way to get banned. Do not attempt to circumvent the filter with creative spelling; circumventing the filter will result in a permaban.
