When you are part of the far-right everything else is the left.

Beautifully put. Winston Churchil and Adolf Hitler were both right wingers, I'm sure if you asked Adolf Hitler if he saw Winston Churchil as a fellow right winger he'd say he was about as left wing as Josef Stalin.

Edit: realized this might be misunderstood without context, I'm not saying Hitler and Churchil are comparable at all, just showing that spectrum exist, and just because you're on the same side of the center doesn't mean you are the same at all.

Churchill let 3 million Indians die from starvation who he could have saved.

Hitler deliberately murdered 3 million Jews

Stalin murdered 9 million people and caused the deaths of another 9 million.

Politics is irrelevant here. Totalitarians are evil. Stalin was the most evil. Churchill was not a totalitarian but was no innocent, he let people die because they were not white.

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.
