Does "Stalinism" actually exist? (hexbear.net)

My dad called me one last week. I told him I'm not even a communist, just a moderate social democrat who likes Soviet symbols for the shock value. (Not true, I'm a Marxist-Leninist, but gotta keep the peace with family, IYKYK.) But now I'm wondering, is "Stalinism" even a thing? Are any of you bears "Stalinists"?

Stalinist is just another way to way marxist-leninist. So no, there is no meaningful stalinism in the west
