Reclaimed is a weird way to say : took land that hadn’t been theirs away from the people living there.

“After the Polish government fell” is a weird way to say, they invaded and helped destroy the government.

Another Whatabout? No one here praised the UK.

He was elected

Oh. Honey…So was Hitler.

Uh, nah. Real life has plenty of awful people-many are way more worthy of that descriptor than others. What a bizarre worldview you have.

Which of those other countries co-invaded a neighbor with the Nazis? Did you think that was some kind of gotcha?

It’s very telling that _every single one of you _ have jumped in with a whataboutism as if that’s remotely a valid argument. It’s not even on topic. That’s the childish response. At no point had I mentioned communism at all, but that’s what your minds jump to. You can’t even admit that: tyrant bad. Being a tyrant communist doesn’t make the tyranny part not exist.

Killing bad people doesn’t undo killing good people. This isn’t the argument you think it is.

Hitler killed Hitler, didn’t undo all the bad he did. And wasn’t he a capitalist? Stalin wasn’t a good person just because Hitler stabbed his own ally in the back, and the ussr started killing their former allies . Or are we pretending Stalin hadn’t allied with the nazis in the beginning of the war, here?

So you’re changing your own argument, now? It’s more impressive that Stalin worked his way up the ladder before killing all those people? That’s what you admire?

Who here was glorifying Queen Victoria? Not me.

But a dozen of you are tripping over yourself to defend Stalin. For no reason. Seems you’re the misogynists here. You love Stalin despite him falling short of a woman’s (who you hate) accomplishments.

Your own source said he murdered a ton of people. That’s a bad person, regardless of the economic system the country they lead used. Why is that such a hard thing to grasp?

If you want to promote communism, don’t use a goddamn mass murderer to market it.

What do you think you’re countering with that argument? No one was discussing communism vs capitalism in this argument. Just: Stalin was an evil man.

Saying someone else was more evil doesn’t unmurder all those people, does it? You’ve countered no part of anyone’s argument because no one mentioned anything about what you think you’ve countered. You just tried to distract from the fact that you idolize a piece of shit. It’s bizarre you can’t grasp that.

Glorifying a murder doesn’t help gather support for your economic system of choice. Get a better face for your movement.

The context clues in my statement show that’s clearly not remotely close to what I said. Fuck, this community is full of the illiterate.

What part of this book which both confirms and agrees there were many politically motivated murders/imprisonments (even if it argues they were fewer than other sources claim) makes Stalin not a monster? It’s arguing over the scale of the bad shit he did, not whether he did it or not. Holy shit.

I’m not the one defending atrocities, you guys are. Whataboutism doesn’t stop the guy YOU’RE actively choosing to idolize from being terrible.

Non specific means? Even if you ignore the orchestrated famine, He enacted paranoid political purges of engineers, scientists, academics, etc. Those are direct murders of people he didn’t like. And you’re over here like: he’s misunderstood. And your defense is: nuh uh/Whataboutism.

At no point did I defend capitalism. I said Stalin was a monster. And that’s an indisputable fact.

Murdering your own people = “flawed”? He was a monster. Him helping to defeat a different monster doesn’t change that.

Weird using a pic of Pratt, who join an extra culty sect of the church to make this point…

And how cute would those velocibears be? Ursaraptors? Bearsaurs?

My greatest achievement as a parent was convincing the kids that hand lotion was basically a magical healing salve. Every single complaint about ouchies and my ___ hurts miraculously goes away with a simple application of store brand lotion.
