Hello comrades, I'm guessing you can see what my political beliefs are from the subtitle of my username. Anyway's I want to clear the popular belief that us anarchists just use stalinist as an insult for marxist-lenninists. That being said, this question is directed at those who proclaim themselves as stalinists or Stalin supporters. I am not going to question you about the bad done by Stalin, from what has been said it seems that you guy's fully acknowledge and condemn his atrocities, which I respect, that's something you don't see in trotskyists or just normal leninists (no disrespect intended, just saying Lenin's path wasn't clean, neither was anarchist Catalonia).

Onto the questions. These are my main questions and concerns, I would like to see if by answering these questions you guy's can help me see the light in Stalin. I mean if two-thirds of Russians can, why can't I, right?

1) How did Stalin run the Soviet Union in a way that gains him admiration? How did he stay true to the marxist and leninist ideals?
2) If you guy's took power of a nation today, how would you run it?
3) Do you guy's have to work in a full state/nation or could there be a Stalin-inspired commune/city?
4) What is your idea of a "revisionist"?
5) how would people live in a Stalin inspired society? Is it basically proletarians in a DoP? Direct democracy for the proletarians, disenfranchise the bourgeois?
6) Would you be willing to work with anarchists, left communists, trotskyists during and after the revolution?

Thank you guy's for reading this. I look forward to reading your responses. Viva La Revolucion!

If this was true, which on the whole it isn't, why is it a good thing? "Oh that Ted Bundy was a terrible person but we, his supporters, admit to his mistakes so that's alright now".
