His obsession with Stalin continues, without any real understanding of how bad the man was for the USSR or the idea of global communism.
Read some history Phil. Look into the man himself, and the climate of fear that he fostered. Look at what he did to your utopian dreams of an extended soviet state. The man did more to make capitalism seem like the best, most attractive option than almost any other figure in history (IMHO). Look at the socio-economic impacts of his policies, read about the pogroms and the body-count within the USSR. Many of the personal freedoms that you seem to espouse, and stand for, would not be open to you under his rule. An honest question to you, Phil, and I'm sure that you read all of this as fan-mail; "Would you want to live under Stalin's regime?"
He'd want to live under it right until he was about to be purged.
