Goes down in history as the most authoritarian guy in history or whatever but Stalin couldnt even find a successor that wouldnt immediately denounce him and his policies. How do we learn from this? Something seems wrong here

Well compare it to China.
Deng Xiaoping denounced the gang of four and excesses of the cultural revolution, but also said that Mao was and always will be an important figure. That they will remember and celebrate his accomplishments, his contributions to theory, etc.. but his mistakes don't need to be celebrated. He explicitly said that they wouldn't do to Mao what the Soviets did to Stalin.
