And I already know whom to blame in case it happens.

No, someone who is trying to help you be a little less ignorant. Trotsky, you see, fell short of Stalin's madness by about 15-20 million lives -- give or take a million or two; Hitler, on the other hand, was in fairly close proximity.

Going OT for a moment, your avatar and text is absolutely mesmerising.

Trump'd

Lenin appointed Trotsky as his follower, but Stalin didn't like that, couped the power and killed off everyone that didn't agree with him.

Russia would actually be better off with Trotsky than Stalin.

Not true. If Trump wants to bomb somebody, the democrats will maybe not let him get away with it because hes Trump. If Clinton wants to, and we know she wants to from the past 4 years, then the Reps will be with it cause they love bombs.

GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY

HOW ARE WE ALL TRUMPING TODAY?

Germany already has that award

Thanks for link! Have to study it little!
Good! I hope that world is now more peace than ever!

Indeed. Sat proudly on the shelf, dated 1933.

DOW JONES IS UP THIS MORNING

CHA CHING IN MY POCKSIES

Damn! you had to didn't you?

I'm not sure if that counts as invoking Godwin's law.

True in the sense that Trotsky was an ideologue as opposed to a purely self-serving egomaniac gangster à la Stalin (or Trump for that matter). However, he had no qualms sacrificing masses of humans in the name of his ideology's "greater good", so it's hard to speculate on what he would have ended up doing in a position of power. Self-serving maniacs are not always more devastating than well-meaning fanatics. Especially when realities require some shoehorning to fit the Grand Plan's fundamental assumptions.

Given his actions and his cynicism, I suspect that, no matter their differences of motives, Trotsky's hands being less bloody than Stalin's is mostly a matter of circumstances.
