Given that this community has generally positive view of Stalin, I’m curious what he did that my comrades find irredeemable or out of line. Since it’s easy to criticize the Soviet Union from a western perspective, bonus points if you explain how this was detrimental to the development of socialism and/or communism.
Their initial support of Israel. They stopped supporting them in the 50s but the damage was already done by that point.

He was misinformed about zionism, once he learned what it was about, he came out staunchly against it. They even fought a short few day war against Israel when Israel invaded Egypt.
The USSR didn’t have the greatest policy history with the Arab world tho, but most most of that came after Stalin’s death.
