I am far from convinced that Stalin is “high-status”—at the very least most socialists I know disavow him.
That may be true now, but Stalin was pretty high status while he was in charge of the USSR.
EDIT: Comment rescinded due to being dumb.
Status is not the same as popularity. Besides, it’s just an ape thing—you don’t have to intrinsically value it, and so feel bad about acknowledging the high status of someone you don’t like.
