Why do you think so many people on the Marxist left defend Stalinism? (quokk.au)

Is it simply over-correcting in response to western anti-communist propaganda? I'd like to think it's simply memeing for memes sake, but it feels too genuine.

I never seriously talked with a Marxist about Stalin IRL. I think we always had more important things to discuss. So I tend to think the amount of Stalin defense you see online doesnt really translate into other contexts
