Prolonged systematic suffering and death, huh? If you hate that sort of thing, you’re really gonna hate that Joseph Stalin guy.
But here’s some more gruesome details about Stalin’s favorite executioner:
Blokhin initially decided on an ambitious quota of 300 executions per night, and engineered an efficient system in which the prisoners were individually led to a small antechamber — which had been painted red and was known as the “Leninist room” — for a brief and cursory positive identification, before being handcuffed and led into the execution room next door. The room was specially designed with padded walls for soundproofing, a sloping concrete floor with a drain and hose, and a log wall for the prisoners to stand against. Blokhin would stand waiting behind the door in his executioner garb: a leather butcher’s apron, leather hat, and shoulder-length leather gloves. Then, without a hearing, the reading of a sentence or any other formalities, each prisoner was brought in and restrained by guards while Blokhin shot him once in the base of the skull with a German Walther Model 2 .25 ACP pistol.[13][14][15] He had brought a briefcase full of his own Walther pistols, since he did not trust the reliability of the standard-issue Soviet TT-30 for the frequent, heavy use he intended. The use of a German pocket pistol, which was commonly carried by German police and intelligence agents, also provided plausible deniability of the executions if the bodies were discovered later.[16]
I bolded the part where Blokhin is literally dressed like Leatherface from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Like I said, sit the fuck down.

Yep, bad dude. Bad, bad dude. His boss was too. You didn’t, and won’t, get any argument on that from me. But you come across as one of those people who talk about systematic racism and knee jerk react by saying,“I’M NOT RACIST”. All I said was capitalism causes a fuckload of pain, suffering, and death as well. You were of the opinion that capitalism is somehow immune to evil or something. And I’m not sure why you keep saying sit down. The only time I type on here is when I’m at my desktop, and I don’t have a standing desk. You need to try to come up with something more appropriate. Or you know, just shut the fuck up with your capitalist boot licking, grow up, take some classes, and realize humans really suck when they get any type of power, whatever political clothes they wear.

I’ll explain for you (everyone else is able to pick up what you evidently can’t) why your equivocation attempt sucks ass, and why you should therefore, sit the fuck down, as was suggested previously:
My initial question was, Why do lemmy.ml users get hysterical when Joseph Stalin gets described accurately? Note that there is zero reference here to economic policy.
The entirety of your response has been Argle bargle whaddabout capitalism yip yip yip you capitalist bootlick blah blah blah whaddabout whaddabout whaddabout.
Joseph Stalin was a fucking awful man is a stand alone, easily defended premise.
Meanwhile, you want to pivot so hard to hurr durr capitalism bad, that you’re going to snap your own ankles.
Sit the fuck down.

Nope, you asked the question and I gave a decent answer. Never ever said Stalin was other than evil. Goes down in history with Hitler and Pol Pot. Again, you are the one who asked. And…you keep using that phrase. I do not think it means what you think it does. You can’t be bothered to give a reasoned response, so I can’t be bothered to get dumber reading anything else you have to say. Or as you seem to gargle out yip yip (Avatar rocked. The animated show, not the movie) and whaddabout whaddabout whaddabout. Which was the original freaking discussion ya dummy.

I’ve identified the source of your consternation. You were under the impression that you gave a decent answer.
yuh buh nuh capitalism bla bla-
You can find zero cases of a political leader from the Capitalist west that had gulags and mass executions and mass graves for the state sanctioned mass executions.
I am uninterested in body count comparables due to capitalism, due to cancer, due to car accidents, due to tobacco, sunspots, whatever.
Name the heads of state from the west who have been executing citizens, and dumping them in mass graves. See if you can find an executioner who was striving for one execution every three minutes, like i did for Joseph Stalin.
Ya but capitalism yip yip yip
Sit the fuck down.
