It’s a fair point, though I think this meme is going after a very specific type of person: present day neoconservatives that say they used to be Trotskyites.
I’ve never seen a Trot on this site. I’m probably the closest thing in that “I think Stalin did a lot of good but also a lot of bad, but obviously not anything close to what anti-communists claim. Ultimately he and the party were faced with a multitude of impossible problems and I don’t know if the choices I would have made in his shoes would have been any better”.

I don’t think this is very far off what most ML’s believe, that whole “Stalin did nothing wrong” thing is just an internet meme.
I’d say the line goes between the second and the third guy (any imperialism is bad, so if Stalin ever did that, it would have been just as bad as that of the west)
While I don’t disagree, I don’t know how to square it with this instance’s purported non-sectarian stance.
non-sectariasm on Hexbear is just anti-trot tbf
I mean, even the Trots hate other Trots, so it’s probably okay.
Cuz it’s an obvious shitpost, yet if somehow someone feels called out by this then they are undoubtelly krakkkers and/or massive libs

Also: Stalin did nothing wrong.
