Stalinists are right-wingers with red flags - there’s nothing leftist about them at all. Trots are barely any better. People forget that leftist ideas are popular - that is why there are so many political racketeers in the world pretending to buy into those ideas while actively distorting the same ideas to suit their political agenda. Even old Adolf did it - but no-one is as guilty as the charlatans that ran the USSR and is currently running the PRC. The USSR was about as “socialist” as the US is “democratic” - ie, their (respective) “socialism” and “democracy” only exists in the minds of propagandists.
Modern-day Stalinists do not have an excuse… the truth is perfectly available to them. They are no different to people who deny the Holocaust or climate change.
I live in Russia so most leftists here are Stalinists in one way or another, or at least Trostkyists, which still means centralism.

Oh, look… a pretend-leftist. What’s the matter, tankie? Dropped your little red flag in the toilet?

Provide some proof, wannabe. This is going nowhere until you do.
