    The only difference between Hitler and Stalin is that Stalin got away with it.

    If you’re all about killing commies, then yeah Stalin and Mao are great.

    Personally I don’t think anyone should live like that, so I’d much prefer the people reject authoritarian rule and embrace democracy on their own.

    I mean, I like Russia and wish its people could escape the nightmare, first of the USSR and now of Putin's dictatorship.

    Not just tolerating, they want everyone else to live the same way. Its a kind of "my abusive husband would beat your abusive husband" mentality, where the fact they get abused only reinforces their active support for their dictatorship

    1. Hate Russia for its government
    2. See the worst governor Russia had throughout its history
    3. Makes the country miserable for citizens, disliked by the outside world (including yourself)
    4. Great guy actually, made the country I dislike worse
    5. Profit

    Wtf is that logic?
