    The Western idea of a dictator within the Communist setup is exaggerated.

    Not false, but exaggerated

      I’ve legit had capitalist bootlickers say that “The CIA didn’t conclude that Stalin wasn’t a dictator, just that he didn’t have absolute power!”

      These stupid ass crakkkers completely miss the point, that of course the CIA will still slander Stalin, socialism, and the USSR. They’ll never say that Stalin was a cool, misunderstood heroic guy. The point is that even in internal, secret documents for CIA personnel, the fact remains even they admit that Stalin wasn’t a dictator.
