    If your family was hunted by Nazis then you should show a little more respect to the folks who beat the Nazis.

    David Volodzko criticized Lenin in ‘The Seattle Times.’ Now he is without a job. A story of profound intolerance in our country’s most “tolerant” city.

    By David Josef Volodzko

    Hitler was more evil than Lenin if we’re looking at what they did to people and that’s a pretty important metric for assessing evil!

    what a child. As if the concept of evil can be quantified

    "Hitler had over 9000 evil points but Lenin still had 5000 according to me"

    Nor do they appreciate that Lenin was more ambitious in this regard than Hitler: his aim was to kill as many people as he possibly could. All ages, classes, faiths, ethnicities, regions.

    Show

    How the hell does an adult come to such brainwormed conclusions? Apparently Lenin was an ontologically evil avatar of destruction.

    Gotta love how they phrase it as "Criticizing Lenin" when it was more about him being like "Hitler wasn't so bad, he was actually pretty good compared to this guy!"

    “Josef, the Nazi killer after whom I am named”

    Imagine being named after Nazi-killer stalin-stoic and then praising Adolf while saying Lenin tried to do as much genocide as possible.
