Anti-Stalinist left is a group of people who don't agree with the ideas of Joseph Stalin. Joseph Stalin was a leader of the Soviet Union from the 1920s to the 1950s. His rule was often harsh, and he was responsible for starting a lot of wars, taking away people's freedoms, and causing a lot of suffering. People in the anti-Stalinist left don't like his ideas and don't want him to be in charge. They want changes to be made in the way the government is run and they want to make sure people have freedom to speak their minds and make their own decisions.
