I agree with you, but as communists, that's not the choice we're presented with going forwards.

If faced with the same scenario would I hope it's approached better today? Yeah sure.

This is what I mean. The past cannot be changed, but we can learn from it.

But I'd still do it again exactly as it was in order to defeat fascism.

No two situations are the same, and with the benefit of hindsight the Soviet Union has given us, I think we'll be able to tackle the problem better next time.

The liberal in the OP screenshot is just doing nazi apologia, you are correct.

The only context in which this conversation ever happens is a liberal doing nazi apologia and showing that they are more opposed to communists than they are to nazis. They'll claim we're as bad as nazis while simultaneously refusing to ever visit China, Cuba etc. The very claim is either a denial of nazis being genocidal monsters or a belief that we are.

I refuse to entertain that they're speaking in good faith.

We can and should (and communists, including Stalin himself when Yezhov was prosecuted, have) also be having this conversation amongst ourselves. Many were prosecuted and killed who were, according to the party itself, not guilty. This means that mistakes were made which can be learned from.

You're right, they're not.
