You mean Stalinist. Trots hate Stalin but share much of their underlying ideology (a belief in party vanguardism). Not something that a communists necessarily believe in. Orwell was both a supporter of revolution and anti-tankie. Not many people know this but he tried to make the home guard into a revolutionary army based off those he saw in the Spanish civil war.
You're just scratching the surface of Faction Paradox. There's Grandfather Paradox (The Doctor), Granddaughter Time, Lucifer. It's a crazy acid trip of a series.

Yeah, they do continue "his work" all wright. Living in Russia now almost as disurbing as it was during The Stalin's era. Screw this Hatcher fellow for trying to turning my favorite Doctor into a Stalin apologist. But I don't consider Seventh Stalinist to be a canon.
If Churchill, the man who stated that the “reds, blacks and yellow deserved their plight as it was the hand of a superior race [whites/English speakers],” the same man who killed 3 million Indians, with the opinion of “they [indians] are a beastly creature, with a beastly religion, the famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits” is allowed a favourable appearance and friendship, Stalin is far more deserving then him. Stalin actually defeated hitler, he supported liberation movements against the ilk of Churchill, yet is the one guy the doctor can’t be friends with? 7 is right. If anyone was a dictator, then it was Churchill, the man who said “I did not become the king’s first minister (very democratic) in order to preside over the liquidation of the British empire” is far worse then Stalin, maintaining the crown of brutality, made up of the bones of the Irish, one with its jewel lodged in with the blood of Indians and cloak sewn with the sinew of Africans and North American indigenous, stained with the blood of Malaysian and Australia’s indigenous population is far worse then what ever harrowing claims one can make against Stalin.
To be fair you can barely slip a cigarette paper between them. Its basically like the disagreement between the Strasserists and the Hitlerists, they were both Nazis but had ideological differences they got homicidal over.
Hello from Ukraine. Stalin was a good man. He was a leader of a country where people ruled it. The most democratic of the time. I did not know that Doctor Who really told the truth about it. Well okay politics aside. Can you do special edition about Russia and Soviet Union in Doctor Who? In new who it was scarsed and strange. Anyway it's interesting to listen what Doctor Who says about Russia and countries which were in USSR. The problem is Western Media paints them super wrong.
This might sound controversial but the Who canon needs to be reset. Like what Disney did with Legends its needs a group of people who manage the canon so it doesn't get even more out of hand like it is now. A lot of the big finish dramas and non show material needs to be controlled and de-canonised because its a mess.
I mean, if any Doctor was going to think Stalin did nothing wrong, it'd be Seven... I mean, both are very 'ends justify the means' people. Also, the Trotskyite in me had a visceral reaction to being associated with Stalin, I'm not a Tank.
The original line reading was meant to say "How can 7 be a stalinist, when he's so obviously a trotskyite?!" But I think I flubbed it somewhat as many other commenters also got confused by it.
Thing is, Stalin was never genuine about the ends justifying the means... Because he didn't want the ends he claimed... The Reds were not genuine socialists... The government (red flag right there) they set up was not socialist beyond minor things to pay lip service to the concept. The Black's were... The Blacks set up a federation of democratic soviets where everyone was free to come in and vote on current issues, and the army made sure everyone under their protection was fed and clothed. They provided the people with the spoils of war against the Whites, and The Reds literally destroyed them for it. They tore down an entirely socialist system of governance because they were scared it would get too popular because the people within the territory were actually being taken care of and ac5ually doing the whole "to each according to their needs, from each according to their ability" thing.... Lenin nor Stalin nor Trotsky had any genuine desire in creating a society for and by the people. They saw the chance for power and took it. And to this day people take their propaganda and lies at face value... Use it as a weapon to discourage real meaningful change... By pointing at them and going "this is what communism looks like"
