Stalin's Making a Comeback...

This seriously freaks me out...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_...some_in_Russia

Any ideas on what this might mean for Russia's future?

Ah, of course, but what if a stalin-like person comes around with dreams of political gain?

that's what my point was.

Hm... What do you mean?

That there are Stalinists in america who would love to rise to power? if so, i totally agree. But i doubt they would succeed in america. it seems that stalinist ideas are taking root there again, which is obviously a bad thing... stalin was obviously a huge scum bag... the cult of personality... the purges... the destruction of what was a first a nice idea... all of that.

Is that what you mean, though? or have i misinterpreted your post? if so, please correct me.

Unrest always draws dissent.


I would'nt make anything out of it personally, especially with citing a source from Wikipedia. Russia was hit hard by the economic crisis and everyone knows bad times draw out comparisons to the ''Good Times'' that always seem to be in the past.


Back when Stalin ruled, Russia was much more of a superpower than it is today and was held to a higher regard. Even if a Stalin-esque personality came to power, I highly doubt they'd have the wherewithal or the influence on an international scale to do anything on the magnitude that Stalin did.

If Putin doesn't really worry you, I don't understand why this would.

Ah, trust me, i hate putin with a passion. Didnt think about that... good point, though. Perhaps that's why he holds a popular standing in russia in contrast to the outside world... think he's reviving stalinism?

Hell no. If Stalin ever came back, I'd be one of the thousands of people paying for the takeout.

I believe Stalin was (in a way) worse than Hitler. Why? At least Hitler killed those whom he considered his enemies, Stalin killed his own kind just to stay in power.

I kinda hope Stalin does come back, that way all of my Zombie Preparedness Training won't have been in vain. Maybe I can take out Zombie Nixon.

On a more serious note, we should probably worry about getting our own house in order before we go poking our noses around in other countries' business.
