We can think of a better system that the USSR or USA.

Not by listening to anarchists in the imperial core. If y'all can't be trusted not to sling mud at the guy under whose leadership the Nazis were stopped (and who repeatedly tried to stop them before they got as powerful as they did) then I don't trust y'all with anything else regarding politics.

In short, this isn’t a glowing report of Stalin’s achievements.

Of course it's not. It's an internal report by the CIA regarding the political situation in the USSR.

reflects the legacy of Stalin’s crackdowns on dissent and internal opposition

Oh no, if only they'd let CIA agents run amok in the name of freedom and democracy.
