    One of the worst things hitler did was make stalin look even vaguely sane or competent by comparison.

      As long as you’re not literally the worst you kind of get a pass in human culture.

        That’s hyperbole. Stalin got a pass back then strictly out of necessity in the ongoing war against the Axis powers. However that didn’t mean people thought he was a good guy then, and neither does anyone but tankies nowadays either.

        Except Stalin killed and oppressed more people than Hitler, he just hid it better and was on our side for a bit.
