The mass deportations were distinctly un-Marxist. I would say it's the only valid criticism I've ever seen. Ironically, it's not what libs obsess about. They're always mad that he aggressively suppressed antisemitic right-wingers.

The deportations weren't all the same and I think there was a better case for the deportation of Germans from Poland, etc. even if it was still in error.

By contrast, I think Stalin's virulent homophobia and staunch opposition to any appeals for tolerance along Marxist lines is one of the most clear-cut cases of him being personally flat-out wrong.

That's fair, coming from a Marxist. I'm not interested in hearing it from a liberal that doesn't have any understanding of why all kinds of prejudices thrive under capitalism.
