Franz Mehring wrote thick biography of Marx, he was direct witness of many events and knew even more participants. I must read it someday when i will have some time.
Your assumption that the person you are talking to isn’t familiar with it gives away that you are full of bullshit. Pick up a bunch of history books irl and read them from start to finish. Stop learning from memes and reddit posts.
Ok. I mean, I’m not going to do it IRL, since I have them on my tablet, but I’ll go read Blackshirts and Reds, Triumph of Evil, the Book of the Hopi, The Cold War and Its Origins, The Hidden History of the Korean War. I’ll also recommend you read them.
Read them all and draw your own conclusions on whether Stalin was a brutal dictator or someone to worship. I suggest you to read on paper or eink display to not strain your eyes.
Why read Marx when you have Wikipedia you know
You may want to read the biography of Marx and the historical events of the 19th century. Wikipedia offers a good recap and data for further reading.
You could read actual works by Marx but it would require being able to read pages longer than a Wikipedia article.

The person I’m talking to links Wikipedia articles and tells me to read ‘history books’ lmao. Of course I’m not taking it seriously.
And who do you take seriously? People telling you exactly what you want to hear?
You seem familiar with Marx so cross check yourself the data with Wikipedia
Ah yes, cuz Wikipedia is the holy grail of information. No, don’t read stuff by yourself, don’t pick up a book, just use wikipedia.
Damn, you’re proving why we have this emoji

Edit: How could I forget Killing Hope?!
Whichever the media, you get and understand its contents.
Grover Furr, Khrushchev Lied and Dominico Losurdo’s book on Stalin are also quite good.

Stalin was neither a brutal dictator nor someone to worship.

Yes debunked claims such as Stalin being a dictator, which all historical evidence shows that he wasn’t.
Uhhhhhh…wait…uhhhh…uhhhhhh…when you say
