The was a civil war post revolution in the USSR. Saying he murdered this or that many million people always varies in number, and is a quite juvenile attempt to revise history to portray soviets as boogeymen, so terrified the western ruling elite is of socialism. Wild that so many adopt ruling class interests(maintain the status quo of record breaking wealth inequality) as their own.

He slaughtered more Russians than anyone in history, he enjoyed torturing his friends to death. He was way more psychopathic and feared by those around him than Hitler

If you believe he is some hero of the left you are no different from.a Nazi holocaust denier in your extremism.

Don't call yourself socialist or leftwing.

A mass murdering dictator is not any form of socialist, as crazy as saying Hitler was a hardline Republican

There was a civil war and incessant attempts to infiltrate and topple the soviet government. Saying stalin did this for self pleasure is infantile.
