“Stalinists lie. Always”
Yes always.
You’re probably aware of how effective it and here are two examples:
During WWII Stalin never said Communism must be defended against Hitler/Fascism. In their propaganda, the Communists always said “We must defend Mother Russia”.
Stalin put millions in the gulags and indoctrination continued at a greater degree. When Stalin died, many in the Gulags cried that he had died.
Communism is insidiously evil.
“You must never be the first to stop clappin”.
