MacColl may have written Stalinist songs in his early days (Ballad of Stalin) but none of his later songs (mid-fifties onward) could be described as such IMO.
There is a tendency to lump everything left wing as Stalinist - I am a left winger, but vehemently anti-Stalinist (though I think I understand to some degree why Stalinism took a hold of the left - due mainly to my family experiences).
The pro-Chinese songs (China Me Old China) etc (in fact that's the only one I can think of) came as near as any to being S...ist, but, I thought, fell short - complicated.
