Quote:I'm guessing your an American... I assure that most of the rest of the world doesn't share the same fear of communism that American's share. I doubt there is nothing I can say here that will change your mind about communism, but MHO is known... I also think that Hitler was much worse than Stalin.
HE NEVER INSULTED COMMUNISM!
Here's what he said:
Quote:Communism is a rather big deal. Maybe you don't remember but there was that whole thing with a wall, some l33t d00d named Unkle Karl, that old coot in a wheel chair Lenin, and some haxx0r named Stalin. Red vs. Blue (and I don't mean Halo!)? The NEP? Doctors Plot? Stalin? Cuban Missile Crisis? Engels?
Soviet Communist ideology shaped international relations for somewhere in the neighbourhood of 40 years. It was a big deal. That's all that he's saying. For what it's worth, economic globalization is a big deal too. Some people like it, others don't, and some are uncertain. Are you insulted by that?
As far as this goes:
Quote:I also think that Hitler was much worse than Stalin.
I don't think that you have much to back that up with besides an amateurish puppy love with socialism. Both of them were most likely insane, or at least severely unbalanced. Both were tyrannical idealogues looking for scapegoats. Both of them killed millions.
But whate'er I be,
Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.
