486 [lbo-talk] stalin vs. hitler, the comic book -- rank: 496

Personally, I think the politicians get too much credit for WW2, at the expense of the Zhukovs, Nimitzes, etc. Or, more importantly, the Soviet population and US industrial capacity. I would say Churchill's biggest virtue by far was recognising the size of the Nazi threat early on. But his military ...

August 5, 2008 Stratfor SOLZHENITSYN AND THE STRUGGLE FOR RUSSIA'S SOUL By George Friedman There are many people who write history. There are very few who make history through their writings. Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who died this week at the age of 89, was one of them. In many ways, Solzhenitsyn ...

494 OFFLIST: Re: [lbo-talk] Re: Law Student With a History of Taking Left Turns -- rank: 496

... we cannot apply the terms "insane" or "lunatic" to Joseph Stalin. And in this context, and accompanied by Chris's insistence that Stalin's actions were perfectly "rational," there's little else it can be but a defense of Stalin. Chris expends his energies niggling over whether the terms "insane" and "lunatic" should be applied to Stalin, merely because he's not foaming at the mouth, or ... clothes. Such concerns would make sense only if we had Stalin here, right now, and we were debating whether we should ...
