Okay so I was wondering why Stalin got the most flack of the Cold War propaganda, at least in my experience growing up in the U.S., He's the only Soviet Leader we were "taught" about. Sorry if this is dumb.

Learning of the Panthers and how far the state went to suppress and ultimately murder them was my turning point.

Something similar for me. Seeing the US just bomb a Allende when he didn't put proper protection against the US in place just messed with me
