'Stalinism' isn't really an ideology, more like a governmental attitude.

Replace it with Marxism-Leninism and you get the same result.

State sponsored democide and genocide is not totalitarian enough, apparently.

Leninist ideology doesn't advocate for genocide or 'democide', either.

What happens to those who refuse to live under the dictatorship of the proletariat or give up their property and assets? We know what every single ML regime did to those it labeled as counter-revolutionaries.

Since you seem uneducated about democide, here's a primer

As for ML countries: generally countries that are happy and healthy do not experience communist revolutionaries seizing power. Generally they come to power in countries experiencing apocalyptic conditions and historically, were immediately in the ironsights of the US and it's subsidiaries, eventually literally, during the course of the cold war. Generally you don't win wars by being ethical, and that's exactly what the cold war was, a war.

As for democide: isn't that every country?
