Um
Nadine
didn't I just say a couple of posts back that Stalin, Lenin and Mao were equally evil (well "awful")- at least imo? Did you forget?

Here- to refresh your memory....
" I wouldn't say they (the Nazis) were the only "awful" government. The Chinese had a rather horrible time under the communists. Stalin and Lenin were fairly horrible, and also killed millions (and when I said killed millions- we have to include the various famines in China and Russia to get to these numbers)."

"Stalin certainly planned ahead too. When he sent the army into the Ukraine in the 1930s to seize all the food and create a famine, that was planning.

Why isn't that the same?"

Who says it isn't? Alignment with Stalin was just as immoral as alignment with Hitler. There is no moral high ground to claim there.
