but you tankies

There we go, the generic word to refer to everyone who doesn't uncritically peddle anti-communist discourse.

you tankies can’t seem to accept that countries other than the us also do and did bad shit.

But keep on telling us what a nice guy Stalin was!

I'm not a Stalinist. The great terror was terrible, unjustified, and overall a disaster. The collectivisation policy led to chaos and hunger. The democratic functioning of Soviets was seriously undermined. It's just, as much as you probably don't consider that the whole existence of the UK as a country is illegitimate as a consequence of its colonialist history, I don't consider that the USSR as a whole should have been dismantled, and I consider that its overall impact on the world was positive, especially comparing it to what was before and to what came after.
