The problem is that people take quotes like this as an excuse to slippery-slope into loving everything else Stalin did too. Why, I couldn't say. It's pretty fucking obvious that Stalin and Mao and Mussolini and etc. were horrible people but yet we still have people in the modern day tripping over themselves to suck off dictators that died a century ago.
