It's rather ridiculous to claim that "Hitler is the only one we hear about ever". If that were true, how on earth would you know about the other men you mention? There are a wealth of documentaries about Stalin and Mao and Mussolini etc. Sorry, I do not see any kind of embargo of information on these others....why do you feel otherwise?

are they now? interesting homework for you go to some public place and ask someone who hu jintao is and why he is a bad guy. or ask them why stalin was a bad guy. i promise you that they will not know the correct answer, that they are both war mongering mass murderers.

And im not saying lets look at just these few murderers. im saying why dont we look at them all and learn how disgusting they all are instead of learning of how disgusting one is and leave the rest to do their dirty work.

How many times have we let genocide happen after hitler? TOO MANY GOD DAMN TIMES thats how many. if you asked people who comitted acts of genocide the answer is usually hitler. not stalin, or Kim Jong-il who is destroying his own nation. Why is it always hitler not anyone else thats what im saying and to be quite honest i cant understand how you managed to think i wanted to focus only on hitler.

i know about them because i do research. how many people do you know will sit back on a saturday and study old dictators? and yes in mainstream schooling, history class is all about hitler and why he was so evil. and thats it there are no other names dropped just hitler.

i expect everyone on this site to be a little more well read than the general population of the USA, so i expect many to know who i was talking about. however what i dont expect is the average joe or jane of america to know exactly who im talking about but i know full well they will know hitler.

Pres. Karimov of Uzbekistan perhaps?



Like I said before, feel free to check some of the Nazi history. They did anything and everything to countless people. Anything and everything. Not to mention the millions of lives lost, the horrible intentions, the satanism, etc.

There are several tyrants in the world, but my gold medal has to go to Hitler and his merry band of men. If we look solely at lives lost, I think Mao Tse Tung has them all beat.

Hell, even the Dalai Lama tortured people.

You are defending hitler though, even if you don't mean to.

What you are saying is that there are people in the world who have been or are worse than hitler, and in a way i agree with you, BUT;

Hitler is the guy we think of when we look at history for examples of fascist dictatorships, and as such he is the epitome of what we in the 21st century think of when we look back at how our culture has developed over time.

After all, Hitler started a pretty damn big fight if you hadn't noticed.

If he had his way, it wouldn't of just been localised to a single country, but the entire damn old world.

The only reason that other fascist leaderships aren't brought up so often is because they aren't as aggressive in terms of international interests.

There's your reason - Hitler/The Nazi Party was trying to conquer the *snip* world, and because of it millions* of allied troops died trying to stop him.

We spent decades recovering from the losses that Hitler caused to humanity, and i don't really think anyone wants to do it again unless it's absolutly nessecary.

p.s; Yeah, it's fairly uneducated.



*Okay, that's quite an exaggeration.

1) no im saying people have been the same as hitler. and if you are going to call my opinion ignorant back it up with something worth calling an opinion wrong.


2) and stalin killed 20 million of his own people but in my history books he was the ally of america in WWII and wanted more of germany than he desearved after WWII. nothing even mentioned of what kind of mass murderer he was.

3) international interests? how about sudan, who is the victim of international interests after all? i havent heard much about chinas heavy involvment with the exception of one magazine.

4) and what about the fact we didnt even try stopping hitler from his rise to power until he got too much power and we got scared? we put up sanction after sanction after sanction and watched him disobey those sanctions. the only reason it got as big as it did was because we did not act appropriatley to his rise to power.

And so the dissection begins.



1) no im saying people have been the same as hitler. and if you are going to call my opinion ignorant back it up with something worth calling an opinion wrong.

If you're saying that people have been the same as hitler, you're not really saying very much are you?

I thought you were saying that there were individuals who were worse than hitler, but i see i was wrong in that judgement.

2) Stop reading history books and think for yourself, then.

If you don't agree with what you find in the books, then say so - don't skip about the point like a damn kangaroo.

3) Well, you could blame the MSM for that, couldn't you?

4) They did try - they tried doing things peacefully.

You made a counter point and then contradicted yourself in the very same statement.

I think a lot of the problem of hitler's unopposed rise to power was the fact that the people didn't want another war, having just gotten over the last WORLD war.

And of course, nowadays we have problems like Corporate America, whom don't like the idea of the political establishment picking fights with people all willy-nilly because of the fact that they'd have to tighten the purse-strings in order to go ahead and do it.

The corporations are a blight on society in more ways than one, you don't need to be educated to realise that - just smart.

But seriously, if you think that people in history have not been evaluated properly as the war-mongering blood crazed tyrants that they are, then just say so.

When you start saying things like "Oh, People always seem to think Hitler was the classic Fascist Oppressor" you're bound to get a contradiction or two, and it's probably because even though 60 years have passed, the memory of that war is still fresh in our generational memory.

You can't blame people for it.

Yes, but here's what you're missing.

We're looking at how bad Hitler was, and you're just going off of body counts.

Mao Tse Tung and Stalin both died in office. They topped off with their death tolls. Hitler would have surpassed them both had he not been stopped by force.

The whole reason Hilter is quoted above all other is because of what he did in the death camps and that involved body counts. We can agree to disagree on his final body count but it would never have reached into 100million+ Est. China/USSR deathes, no way! Hitler was stopped in my opinion because those that created and allowed him to become what he was in the first place wanted to end it, so it ended. Mao's life didn't end the way Hitler's did because the West weren’t interested in terminating him as it obviously didn't server their agenda?

First, you may want to double check your numbers.

Secondly, yes, absolutely Hitler would have surpassed Stalin and Mao Tse Tung's numbers had he not been stopped.

Your right, number were probably much higher and I was using the lower figures quoted in the book I mentioned earlier (that used dozens and dozens of external sources to try and get figures). It just doesn't make for comfortable reading when you learn of the monsters that were funding these monsters. See all monsters, not better not worse just all evil and bad, just a matter of PR and the writing of history.

And, no just stating it for a second time don't move your argument forward regarding Hitler and his expected death numbers. Mine whilst are debateable are that, you are just offering an opinion, a wrong one in my opinion.
