I now have a new podcast to listen to.<br /><br />But did Ann Klaeysen at minute 25 really mean to imply Stalin was not as bad as most people think? <br /><br />Her exact words, "They (meaning Hitler and Stalin) actually fought against each other…..Stalin was leading a socialist society in defense…people say Stalin killed 20 million; 20 million people were killed by Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union. Stalin had problems, but they were not, he was leading a totally different society…"<br /><br />Does she know anything about the history of Stalin's rule? Does she know anything about the history of World War 2? I would suggest she start with Arthur Koestler's account of what the Nazi Soviet pact of 1939 meant to Leftists everywhere.TX Skeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06479959472175015693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15005476.post-83048797594315791422011-08-24T13:39:02.984-04:002011-08-24T13:39:02.984-04:00Of course it had to be in Amsterdam :)Of course it had to be in Amsterdam :)2euclidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06838933537652132199noreply@blogger.com
