    Everytime the wind blows you can hear Stalin laughing at you.

    I know that. A lot of people were killed, but in the end Stalin was the only leader the Soviets had who could have defended the nation against the Nazis and get the economy going.

    That's quite optimistic to say the least

    If you are refering to Red Armys purges, people what actually have been executed ranges in thousands. And if you blame Stalin for famine, you might as well blame Obama for every single ass car crash.

    And given the fact that at Adolfs part it says only 12 million makes this whole list peace of shit.

    After reading this and the rest of page 6 I have come to the conclusion that there is no possible way that this guy is for real.

    On the subject of Stalin, I think we can all agree that he had a sexy mustache and that at the very least his mustache was good for the USSR.

    Sleep posting can be a serious issue. One moment you are talking about how everyone is bad and then the next you are accidentally posting naked pictures of men somewhere.

    I don't like the man but I have to agree that he was the man for the job. In russia, you have to kill people to get the job done. That is why Ivan the terrible was such a great leader. In the industrialization, he did an excellent job. Even though the quality of working was very bad, a lot of people were working and that raised production a lot. Collectivization was a pretty bad plan. Putting a lot of people on on giant farm just doesn't seem to work well at all. It took a few famines for this to change a bit and some private ownership of land was given (think vegetable patches and a cow). When the war came around, Stalin was the man to raise the already crippled russia to kick some nazi german ass.

    My overall opinion of stalin: He was good at getting shit done even with some bad ideas (Collectivization), and that he was a great morale booster. I mean come on, his mustache is all the more reason to fight for him!

    Because we hate to read something twice to understand what you might mean. Just do it, it's not hard.

    Then get out. If you're only here to insult people, get out.
