Re: Was Alexander the Great worse then Hitler
That's not really an accurate assesment.Originally Posted by Watchman
Some people, like Beria (chief of the KGB) went from complete behind-kissers to the greatest critics of Stalin the moment he crooked. Kruschev falls in this catagory as well.
The rest of the party elite may have agreed in majority with Kruschev's decisions to stop the policies mass-murder and veneration of Stalin, but one of the reasons that the party forced Kruschev to resign was because he went to far in his criticism of Stalin's reign.

Well duh. It wouldn't do to make it look like the all-powerful Party had been wrong about something, no ? Shan't shake the common boat, even if you're the... whatwasthetitle... Premier?
One thing totalitarian systems have always been really lousy at is admitting their mistakes. Doubtless one reason why they've always been so incompetent.

Re: Was Alexander the Great worse then Hitler
I just pointed out the complete absense of any nuance in your original statement. People like Kruschev who "dragged Stalin through the mud" were ultimately sidetracked, people like Breznjev praised him and fared a lot better in the long run.
Re: Was Alexander the Great worse then Hitler
"Wasted no time" is a nuance methinks.
