Who are your favorite historical figures Sup Forums? Who do you respect, who do you emulate?
Pic related is probably my favorite. He basically dissolved parliament at gun point and declared himself emperor. Then he spread his ideology across Europe, it took an alliance of all the remaining monarchies to take him down.

We are tainted by modern philosophy which has taught us that all is good, whereas evil has polluted everything and in a very real sense all is evil, since nothing is in its proper place.

You really believe that don't you?
It was a time of massive social upheaval, yes people died in famine or in political conflict, however Stalin did not order 40 million people executed by any stretch
ich bin zu faul. Kannst du das deutsche Original posten?
> It was a time of massive social upheaval, yes people died in famine or in political conflict
Stalin was, without doubt, one of the most ruthless and deadly world leaders of the 20th century. He was responsible for millions upon millions of deaths.
You nigger
Fuck you, Stalin was based and you're just still butthurt about how he kicked Hitler's ass
Keep going, you marxist scum
Stalin was a faggot, shut the fuck and fuck off leaf.
fuckin christ lads i just realised that Trump is the Stilicho of the USA
Who says I am a Marxist? I just admire Stalin's extraordinary life and achievements. How many world leaders started out as bank robbers?
I would think you would be proud of the most powerful man ever to come from Georgia
He gained power by sucking Jewish dick, dumbass. why would I respect a traitor, we produced better leaders than him.
> How many world leaders started out as bank robbers?
I'm pretty sure Stalin actually purged all the high-ranking Jews in the Bolshevik party and sent a lot of Jews away to an 'autonomous republic' at the far end of Siberia. Not what I'd call sucking Jewish dick. Anyway no, Georgia did not ever produce a better leader than Stalin, you are aware of how much of Eurasia was under Stalin's control? He was objectively a fucking badass leader
heh
Pic very much related
There is no denying that he achieved power by sucking Jew dick. you don't know shit about Georgia, Russia was already pretty big and some of the leaders we had even at that time were better than Stalin, Mazniashvili was a better a general than Stalin, all Stalin had was brutality, he was a dirty peasant.
Stalin was just a really big fish and Georgia was just a really small pond, you seem kind of butthurt about it
Shitty American idioms are not arguments.
My boy here
That's an analogy.
It's an idiom turned ANALogy, leafs have to pervert everything.
I second that. Reading his biography is like reading an adventure novel
