You can't use True Scotsman sort of fallacy push back in an adult discussion. It's obvious Stalin's Russia was not proper communism. Lenin was nothing like Stalin. Stalin was still at least a communist, but he was not a good person and was not good for communism. Besides the capitalists in America and all the right wing govts America put in power in its cruel crusade against Communism.

Your argument is a typical one. See this 18 min video for why that isn't necessarily true: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbkMDb1jJCw
