Scope

Why is the scope "anti-Stalinist left" rather than just "anti-Stalinism"? Or what would the article lose for being scoped around general critiques (opposition) of Stalinism rather than "leftist" critiques?

This article reads to me primarily as a summary style expansion from Stalinism § Opposition, a section that currently does not exist. Whatever is to be written in that parent section, this article should be a split, given the voluminous content. (Same for Leninism and Anti-Leninism.) czar 19:03, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

The anti-Stalinist left is a specific thing whereas the generic "anti-Stalinism" would be too capacious a thing, and insufficiently different from anti-communism.
