Who's a better dictator, Hiter or Stalin?

I say neither, Lenin was the best.

Mussolini's use of abstract minimalism won me over in Empire III: I'm a Big Fat Bastard.

If Stalin fought Trotsky, who would win?

I say Trotsky cuz he would stab Stalin with an icepick he took out of his brain.

this thread is sick

Well now, Stalin wasn't stallin'
When he told the beast of Berlin
That they'd never rest contented
Till they had driven him from the land.
So we called the Yanks and English,
And proceeded to extinguish
Der Fuehrer and his vermin,
This is how it all began.

Now the devil was a-readin' in the good book one day,
How the Lord created Adam to walk the righteous way.
It made the devil jealous,
He turned green up to his horns,
And he swore by things unholy,
That he'd make one of his own.

So he packed his two suitcases full of grief and misery,
And he caught the midnight special going down to Germany.
Then he mixed his lies and hatred with fire and brimstone,
The the devil sat upon it,
That's how Adolf was born.

Now Adolf got the notion that he was the master race.
And he swore to bring new honor and put mankind in its place.
So he set his plans in motion and was winning ev'rewhere,
'Til he p and got the notion
for to kick that Russian Bear.

Well now, Stalin wasn't stallin'
When he told the beast of Berlin
That they'd never rest contented
Till they had driven him from the land.
So we called the Yanks and English,
And proceeded to extinguish
Der Fuehrer and his vermin,
This is how it all began.

Yes, he kicked that noble Russian, but it wasn't very long,
Before Adolf got suspicious that he had done something wrong.
'Cause that Bear grabbed the Fuehrer and gave him an awful fight,
Seventeen months he scrapped the Fuehrer,
Tooth and claw, day and night.

Then that Bear smacked the Fuehrer with a mighty armored paw,
And Adolf broke all recods running backwards to Kharkov.
then Goebbels sent a message to the people ev'rywhere,
That if they couldn't help the Fuehrer,
God don't help that Russian Bear.
Well now, Stalin wasn't stallin'
When he told the beast of Berlin
That they'd never rest contented
Till they had driven him from the land.
So we called the Yanks and English,
And proceeded to extinguish
Der Fuehrer and his vermin,
This is how it all began.

Then this Bear called on his buddy the noble fighting Yank,
and they sent the Fuehrer running with his ships and planes and tanks.
Now the Fuehrer's having nightmares 'cause Der Fuehrer knows darned well,
That the devil's done wrote "Welcome" on his residence in [Hell].

Well now, Stalin wasn't stallin'
When he told the beast of Berlin
That they'd never rest contented
Till they had driven him from the land.
So we called the Yanks and English,
And proceeded to extinguish
Der Fuehrer and his vermin,
This is how it all began.

Martin Amis to thread

cuspidorian (cuspidorian), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 10:36 (twenty-one years ago)

hmmmm. I suppose it comes down to what's worse: killing a specific group of people or killing randomly.

Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 10:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Well I wouldn't say "randomly" but yeah he killed so unbelievably, um, widely.
He also had a hell of a lot longer to do it in - not as "suicidal"/undoable as Hitler's undertaking

cuspidorian (cuspidorian), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 10:50 (twenty-one years ago)

i recant "randomly" but, u know what i mean. Less focused killing.

he killed more than Hitler, but i get the feeling he's a wee bit more of a jokey figure. Hitler remains the ultimate in modern evil, while stalin isn't.

Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 10:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah that's a pretty good summation of the general idea Amis responds to with his book "Koba the Dread: laughter and the twenty million". That the horror in the Russian case can be/is joked about but not the holocaust. It's certainly not because Hitler was more evil or worse things were done by him, not by a long shot. I recommend the book, it's very thorough and gripping and horrifying.

fifteen years pass...
