Simon Sebac Montefiore is an idiot who’s book adds nothing to the dialog in which he pretends to participate – that being “what can we learn from the past to help us deal with the fascism of now?”
Joseph Davies, the U.S. ambassador to USSR (1936-38) wrote a much more informative book on stalin called “Mission to Moscow”, which was made into a movie in 1942. Remember the Nazi surrendered to USSR in may ’45.
what is this retarded statement about?

Mr. Davies,
“A man who believed the solution to every human problem was death” is only a slight hyperbole in describing men like Stalin, Mao, and Hitler, considering each murdered tens of millions of people. I don’t see why that’s “retarded”, and to get in a fit over that slight exageration is almost callous.
