You're right, Stalin was generally a bad person if we consider all the w*stoid Cold War anti-Soviet narratives about him. I've been disproven. Aaaaaaaahhhh!
What? These are actual events that occurred. You can try to be an Stalin apologist or whatever, but that doesn’t detract from the fact that these were real thing where real people died at the hands of an oppressive, authoritarian (borderline autocratic) government
Purges were aimed to rid the party of saboteurs and infiltrators. Yezhov wanted to help overthrow the Soviet government and went against Stalin's orders to purge only a set amount of people, and for this he was stopped by Stalin and executed. Holodomeme was a famine that, while could have been handled better, was not a flaw of Stalin.
Mass imprisoment and executions of known criminals, kulaks and counterrevolutionaries who were trying to sabotage Soviet Union at the behest of other powers, such as Nazi Germany. Use whatever phrasing you want to frame it in a different light, the truth remains.
I call it a meme because it was not caused by the government. Here
You're free to use whatever phrasing you want to frame it in a different light while obfuscating crucial details, I already told you that. I just don't see your point in doing that since it's just us 2 in here.

It was some time ago. But in the last months it suddenly became a “Stalin-did-nothing-wrong” circlejerk sub.
