Who thinks Joseph Stalin was a hero

he did save the world yes

No, he was an Asshole!

Not exactly. More like, when he died, the world got a little better overnight.

joe stalin was probably the only one

Do you realize that if he didnt exist you also wouldnt be around. He saved the world from the nazis

Stalin was Satan. Pure fucking evil.

me

hero no, interesting and smart crazy guy, yes.

anyone who kills off 50 million bible humpers is full of win

he looks like a real man

In which parallel universe?

Stalin is a double edged sword.

On the one hand he was a 'murderous' fool, but on the other - like they say - Only Stalin could have dragged Russia into the 20th Century in less then 20 years.

Contrary to popular belief, Stalin didn't set up prison camps to gas people to death, just work them to death making the ingredients needed for cement... digging mines... brick making... the list goes on and and on.

Hero? Depends on one's point of view.

He's my hero and role model.

No. The russian people and the british people saved eurasia from the nazis.
Stalin just pranced and screamed like a little girl while killing anyone who had something called an "opinion".

Would you rather be gassed or worked to death via starvation, exhaustion, and dehydration?

Okay... which Russian leader saw the weakness of NAZI Germany with having no level bombers and then ordered massive tank, weapons and munitions factories to be built just west of absolutely nowhere... I mean, just west of Novosibirsk... so as to be able to build the largest tank force of WWII for a counterattack after the winter of 43?

You can hate him for his methods and the massive loss of life he created (what, x4 what Hitler killed?), but not his results.

Russia was an awesome place before the Revolution. It produced enough wheat to feed the world. They also had a culture that some good literature and other art. The Commies destroyed all of that and Stalin was the worst of the lot. Sixty million people dissappeared into the prison system and never came out.

Russia could have dominated the world if they hadn't of gone down the Communism dictatorship road. Stalin was one of the most evil people the world has ever seen.

Please quit using drugs and opening your mind up to demons...

Wasn't he a Khazar Bolshevik ??? How ironic .

The russian military was rebuilding and rearming long before WW2. New tanks, new officers, new planes, new weapons and manufacturing ect....
The fact is, Stalin is to blame for the Red armys complete, utter failure and destruction during the first half of the German invasion.
NOT their success.

That's not Stalin is it ??? He looks like a gay hairdresser .

No offense, but we are talking about what happened, not what I would prefer. I will not become insulting and accuse you of avoiding the argument by diverting the subject toward emotional appeal, so let's both stay on topic.

Who else could have built 20th Century Russia and then the USSR?

Russia has always had its "best of times" under the rule of a strong man. Peter the Great, a man who built a whole city where there was once nothing but swamp - Russia's first modern city I might add - only killed about 1,000,000 doing so. Why no fight against him?

No one argues that Stalin wasn't a total fucking nut-job, but tell me, what about him isn't heroic in some certain sense? Who else but that limp armed mental/physical midget could have saved Russia from the menacing Hun? Who else could have made the USSR the world's second nuclear power, beating even the English and French in the race? Who else could have unified the largest continent on Earth via railroad?

Who?

OMG... Russia could have dominated the world before Stalin? Before Stalin, Russia was a backward nation of uneducated serfs!!!

GTFO!!!

Please, read a book or at least watch some informative TV!!!

Everything you said was true... and then, get this... THE NAZIs blew it all to shit with med. range bombers!!!

No go back and read about what Stalin saw as the counter measure.

he was a dirty piece of shit.

Good luck calling Josif Stalin a hero, perhaps your ancestors worshipped him: [link to en.m.wikipedia.org]

He did stop the NAZI's thanks to the aid of American and British power. We also gave him Guns, Tanks, Planes and Bombs to fight with as well. Don't forget that.

But he also murdered and imprisoned countless of his own countrymen. Doesn't sound like a hero to me. Just a tyrant fighting off another tyrant.

If people in the USA start disappearing in the middle of the night and or are just killed in broad daylight by their own government, would you think our leader was a hero just because he won a war against foreign aggression?

Freedom is the basic foundation of everything. No matter what else happens, if you don't have Freedom, you don't have anything. Our Constitution isn't perfect but if we manage to regain free markets and destroy Crony Capitalism than we'll be far better off than the rest of the world. This is how we became the jewel of the world to begin with. But continuing down this road towards Socialism, Fascism, Communism (what ever you want to call it) is only going to lead to destruction.

bama does........

No he wasn't.

Close. He was a Jesuit.
