    What bad parts do you keep pointing to? The meme will become much worse if I try to include a lot of nuance. That’s why people don’t like “leftist memes.” There’s a reason why “Stalin did nothing wrong” is a meme and not “here’s a few good things Stalin did and a few I don’t like as much.”

      “Stalin did nothing wrong” is a shit meme because it could be taken as being analogous to the “Hitler did nothing wrong”, the premise being that it’s obvious he mostly did wrong things but saying the contrary, being ironic. Unknowing people will take the former like the latter.

      Now “Stalin shouldn’t have stopped at Berlin” on the other hand…
