re: #140 republic

I said a “young Stalin” OR.

The young Stalin rose to power under Lenin by killing off or intimidating his rivals. Once in power, he consolidated it the same way. Killing off any potential rivals. Ask Comrade Trotsky how that ice pick go stuck in his neck.

I am not fond of Obama, but I do not consider him a homicidal megalomaniac and that is what Stalin was from the get go.
