trotsky gets butthurt about losing the political struggle, lies about stalin, khruschev lies a bit more, western (bourgeois) 'historians' pick up the official 'truth', lie a bit more, slander quite a lot (I've seen the myth of a pedophile stalin popping up recently once more) and then a dumb western liberal/leftcom comes along and says 'well there's a bit of truth in every lie :) i believe the traitor trotsky :) i also support ukraine and israel and taiwan :))' and we are supposed to take these lies at face (half-)value like the fact that them being written in some books is truth
