ehhh, unfortunately I've met more than my fair share of people who unironically like Stalin.
Lots of actually good communist figures out there and they go out of their way to choose the homophobic drunk domestic abuser who kept a literal child rapist as his right-hand man.
Being the leader of the nation that defeated the Nazis gets you a lot of credit. Moreso when Nazis start cropping up again.
I think these days his iconography tends to just trigger those who would ultimately roll with fascism over communism.
