Will Shogren

question: would you categorize... retroactive, discursive criticism of certain Staliny policies as downplaying and ridiculing the Soviet project as a whole? I get that Trots are annoying but I don't think the impulse to delineate between Lenin/old Bolshevik aspirations from the eventual Stalinist beurocracy is tantamount to wholesale condemnation of the country. I think most left-wing Stalin worriers would concede his contributions to third world liberation struggles and anti-imperialism, even if he was a cruel asshole with a stupid streak who got a bunch of Chinese communists and others killed unnecessarily.
