    “support” isn’t really the right word, seeing as he is long dead and so is the USSR. Even the Cosmonaut guys, who aren’t really MLs after like an 8 hour long discussion on the topic of Stalin and his life came to the conclusion that he made mistakes, did good stuff, and anyone else would be hard pressed to do any better in his shoes considering the circumstances. a better phrase would be to understand Stalin and his contributions, and not buy into all the lib/nazi bs about his life.
