Stalin was a drunken ass who was fucking insane, and oversaw the murder of anyone smarter than himself.

He did nothing to advance communism, he only advanced his own power, and his liquor bill.

The man was no one's ally, and worked hand in hand with Hitler to split Europe, until Hitler betrayed him.

Lenin was a murder happy fool, who may have started in a good place, but consolidated power to himself in a way antithetical to true communism. He set himself up as a fuck lord over his people and then died so that Stalin could move in. He also oversaw the death of a true communist movement, the anarchist communists of Ukraine. He had his Red Army kill everyone involved.

Just like Stalin did in Hungary a few decades later.

And that's the problem with you tankies, you worship monsters who betrayed the dream, and then cheer on the people who are still betraying it.

Because the tankies will never support a true communist country with a functional democracy, they would rather burn that to the ground so that their authoritarian masters can pretend to be communist, because some animals are more equal than others.
