Seriously though, has the man done anything wrong other than not be magical? Everything I've ever heard is either outright false or idealist. There is practically no inbetween, it's either "Stalin literally ate children" or "Why couldn't Stalin instantly install Democracy and end all problems". It would be laughable if it wasn't so terribly real.

There is a difference between Stalin's leftist critics and the Western ideologues that consider him to be an incarnation of evil (some Americans unironically believe he was Satan).

There's a """difference""", but it is a real-steel example of horseshoe ideology. I've literally never heard of a "leftist critic" who wasn't a total anticommunist. It's because, i believe, the nature of being a "leftist critic" requires you to fabricate critiques or have unrealistic standards. I am so tired of these "rational leftists" cozying up to me. It's like being bathed in eels, and it's everytime I come here.

In practice, I really don't think there is that much difference and as Parenti points out some left anti-communists/anti-Stalinists are more vitrolic in their condemnations of him and Soviet communism than right-wingers:

Yes, I've read the material that tries to critique him from the Left. The Maoist "critique" of Stalin is largely incoherent and partially bullshit. The Leftcom critique, (which tends to be the better "left" critique) consists in pointing out that he didn't abolish commodity production but never really explains how he could have done it within the material constraints of the time–it is largely historical idealism, which stems from much the same impulse as condemning the Greeks for having slavery.
Not only does it not explain how Stalin could have done it at the time but a lot of leftcom material doesn't even offer helpful advice for how to abolish commodity production and establish full-communism TODAY–in the age of 3D printing.
I know its a dead tendency on Zig Forums now but I've literally seen leftcoms and some orthomarxists conclude that the Russian Revolution either shouldn't have been attempted or should have stayed an open capitalist bourgeois republic because they concluded it wasn't possible for commodity production to be abolished at the time. These were the honest leftcoms and left anti-Stalinists, most of them do not even realize the contradictions of their positions simply because they are steeped in conventional wisdom about the period.
