Jim,
"Not true. "
Go find a decent historian Keith

How about backing up your claims with evidence for once?

Stalins main victims were "the left"

Medevedev's grim bookkeeping included the following tragic episodes: 1 million imprisoned or exiled between 1927 to 1929; 9 to 11 million peasants forced off their lands and another 2  to 3 million peasants arrested or exiled in the mass collectivization program; 6 to 7 million killed by an artificial famine in 1932-1934; 1 million exiled from Moscow and Leningrad in 1935; 1 million executed during the ''Great Terror'' of 1937-1938; 4 to 6 million dispatched to forced labor camps; 10 to 12 million people forcibly relocated during World War II; and at least 1 million arrested for various "political crimes" from 1946 to 1953.

And remember Jim that Stalin was Hitler's ally when they both invaded Poland, and the far left here cheered them on.

Dave,
But it is based on the ridiculous premise that any dictator can be justified by saying he is not as bad as another.

That is a ridiculous premise, but who has made it?
