And other thing about Stalin is that he was a Communist. I mean I've seen recently books and videos attacking people who defend guys that were blacklisted in Hollywood, by saying those people were indeed promoting communism. Like this video
People think that if someone is communist he automatically wants gulags, because "communism is evil" it sprouts gulags. As if Capitalism can't be evil and kill millions of people. This kind of stupid generalization has been plaguing countries like US for decades now. Like wars in Vietnam, Korea, Nicaragua or even Chile - "Oh now look at that kid, he's communist he wants gulags *bang*.
Because at the end of the day it's not about any -ism but the corruption and people that are allowed to be above the law. Even Commies can't escape having ruling class that take advantage of workers. It's always pretty much the same shit.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
