And as far as the "English revolution" being "magnificent"--I assume you refer to the "Glorious Revolution" of 1688-- it depends on your perspective. A king was deposed, after a son had been born to him, and a foreigner was invited in to take his place, because of fear of Catholicism--and, no doubt, fear of possible entanglement with Catholic states like France, since at that point religion and politics were inseparable.   

But this is absurd to start discussing on a "Stalin" thread.

No more what-if's for me.

Separate threads, or I will read but not comment. (I'm sure some will be relieved).
