So like,

an essential part of the history and ideology of the Soviet Union is that the partisan dictatorship tasked itself with acting in order to bring about Communism

Like, it's not that Stalin was viewed by anyone as a good guy revolutionary, it's that the negative outcomes were viewed as the byproduct of technical-political solutions intended to eventually create Communism

So when you point to that stuff like "Communism is bad" what you're really observing is "they never had it"

If the idea had been Communism had already been achieved, mass murder would have been obviously absurd and indefensible

If the idea had ever been: Communism = mass murder of reactionaries, Communism would have been obviously absurd and indefensible

What the USSR operated under was the something like "we will achieve communism in our lifetimes"

If you believe peace and harmony for all mankind is just a few more murders away, the moral math gets a lot more difficult
