Comment Re:Kill Stalin rather than Hitler (Score 1) 1270
The reasoning that dictator X is worse than dictator Y because X killed more than Y is pure bullshit. Evil doesn't scale with body count, it's a qualitative evaluation.
Hitler's influence certainly lasted more than a decade. Regimes which were influenced by Nazism and it's methods of control include East Germany (the Gestapo were cloned into the Stasi), Peron in Argentina, and the Baath party in Iraq and Syria.
