I believe in socialism, but I feel Stalin shouldn't be idolised due to things like the Gulag.

I would like more people to become socialist, but I feel not condemning Stalin doesn't help the cause.

I've tried to have a constructieve conversation about this, but I basically get angry comments calling me stupid for believing he did atrocious things.

That's not how you win someone over.

I struggle to believe the Gulag etc. Never happened, and if it happened I firmly believe Stalin should be condemned.

Lol, just delete it and say that I hmdont know what I'm talking about. Great way to not having to consider other opinions, or, you know, facts

But at least you're not stuck in an echo chamber, right ?

Why are you starting shit in a thread three days later?

Your comment isn't deleted. People can look it up in the modlog if they're really curious. You can't just lie about having facts in it. You don't even have a point of view; you just have a negative reaction to someone else's.

But you're right. We should have to listen to the same default opinion that gets bounced back and forth between our public schools, news, politicians and popular culture. You know, get out of our echo chamber.
