Why is Stalin the most demonized? (lemmygrad.ml)

Okay so I was wondering why Stalin got the most flack of the Cold War propaganda, at least in my experience growing up in the U.S., He's the only Soviet Leader we were "taught" about. Sorry if this is dumb.

Because Stalin was the only Soviet leader after Lenin who was serious about socialism, aside from maybe Andropov but he didn't live in office long. Khrushchev and Gorbachev were both active revisionist while Brezhnev was just all around mediocre and unremarkable.
