### **Notes**

* Stalin supported the monarchist and fascist factions in Greece, who violently slaughtered Stalinist factions and other Greek paristans, out of pettiness against Tito due to disagreements about whether the economy should be centrally planned or decentralized
* Vietnam suppresses non-ML Marxists, Trotskyists, anarchists and other so-called “ultra-left” communists
* Even Stalinist historians (who are pro-Stalin) think repressions of political dissidents went too far
* Stalin handed Marxist dissidents and Communist exiles over to the Gestapo of Nazi Germany
* Despite being an ardent defender of Stalin, Michael Parenti acknowledges repression of Bolsheviks, political dissidents, deportations of ethnic groups and development of a personality cult were unnecessary
* Pol Pot's faction murdered the non-racist and anti-Khmer supremacist communists in his party in the ‘50s or ‘60s.
* You can't like Mao and Castro at the same time. Across the Global South they were at odds with each other. Castro's victories were Mao's defeats and vice versa. It was more than an ideological split
