    He is also quoted as saying [blahblahblahbollocksbollocksbollocks]

    No he isn’t. Maybe you should actually verify instead of spreading complete and utter bullshit with such confidence?

    Let’s not fall into the trap of either lionizing or demonizing historical figures.

    Yet here we are, with you attempting to demonise a historic figure by spreading bullshit.

    responsible for the deaths of a lot of innocent people.

    Every single US president in world history is too. Every single supporter of capitalism is responsible for 100million deaths every 5 years, what’s your point? You’re making an emotional attempt to demonise in one breath while pretending otherwise in the next.

    You’re full of shit mate.

      If you read my comment properly, I specifically said “he is quoted as saying …”, which is undeniably true.

      Yet here we are, with you attempting to demonise a historic figure by spreading bullshit.

      Saying that that Stalin was a brutal and paranoid man, amongst other things is a historically accurate statement.

      If you think I’m promoting the standard, one dimensionals view that Stalin was evil incarnate, then you have completely failed to understand my point.

        Oh fuck off. Weasel words. How fucking slimey are you?

        Stalin was a soft kind grandpa compared to Lenin.

        @aleph@lemm.ee once said “I kick puppies for fun”.

        Now, I’m clearly lying, but it would be hard to be argue that anyone claiming you’ve been quoted as being pro-puppy-kicking is anything but “undeniably true”, as you say.

        You’d think anyone disputing that quote would clearly be disputing the accuracy of the quote itself rather than the fact that it was, indeed, quoted somewhere. But I guess not.

        Source where? I always have big doubt when someone claims very confidently something is undeniably true.
