Michael asks why we should give a sh*t about Stalin. It's simple. One way to figure out how to arrange for socialist success in the future is to try to understand the failures of the broadly-defined socialist movement in the past. In addition to such debacles as German social democrats voting to support a war against French workers in 1914, there are lots of examples of socialist failure, but Stalin stands out as one of the major ones. (As I've noted, however, he can be seen as successful from the nationalist perspective.)
