Why does Stalin "rule"? This is a question from a fellow "leftist."

Either ignorant, or you're just a really bad person. Just such a stupid fucking thing to say. Take a step back from the Internet and read a book. Saying "Stalin rules ✊" doesn't make you cool, it just makes you look like an idiot.

Stalin was a paranoid, murderous dictator responsible for the unnecessary deaths of countless millions of people. Or does it not count because he didn't murder them himself?

Can't wait to hear about how the holomodor wasn't his fault...

You are engaging in what is known as the "double genocide" theory, which is a soft form of Holocaust denial. Cut that shit out, you are repeating literal nazi propaganda.
