I think they have a point that if you just took the set of all ML men there'd be abusers and pedophiles among them. That much is just undeniable and you'd have to believe that something about reading Stalin makes you a saint who won't ever take advantage of others to say otherwise, because we're literally talking about hundreds of millions of people here. To me the question is whether or not MLs have a system that can organize society in such a way that child trafficking rings can't be built, and whether the system that MLs build is likely to create abuses of vulnerable people. That question can actually be operationalized and studied in a more useful way.
