Comparing Stalin and Hitler

Wasnt he Bavarian?

...That's a joke?

[See elaboration in post]

Austrian. :p

Give me a second, guys, give me a second! Here's my elaboration again:

Yeah, yeah, Austrian. He came from the country which had tried its best to be called Republic of German Austria, Germany upon gaining unwanted independence. He was raised speaking German with a German indentity, and while I consider "blood" irrelevent, he wouldn't have, and Austrians are likely to be more "German" in "blood" than Piefkes. And of course "his group", the Austrians, were incorporated into his empire, enjoyed full rights, rose to high positions, and were in every way equal to the "Germans". Stalin, Georgia, and Russia are not really a useful comparison.

Austrians being meaningfully non-German is a result of Adolf's work.

Mostly true yes. A better way of putting it would be that both Stalin and Hitler came from the periferie of their respective empires.

I suppose you could say so, but the fact is Stalin was a member of a much smaller group with a very seperate identity who assimilated into the main group and ruled their country. Hitler wasn't.
 
BTW, both Stalin and Hitler changed their names. Don't ask me how to spell Iosef D... but Hitler's original name was Schikelgruber or something to that effect.
 
Both changed their names and had crappy mustaches?

Take that back!
Stalin had a Great sta....wait, that was Molotov.

Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili was his Birthname

So you say Stalin killed 2 million people.
Read the Book THE DICTATORS

Enlighten us.
what does this sacred tome of yours tell you?

No, only one of them.

Dzhugashwili or Djugashwili and there's the opinion divide: if 'shwili' clearly means (son) and is a very common ending of Georgian surnames, "Djuga's origin is not quite clear. Some say it means in archaic Georgian "Steel" and that explains his nickname of a surname "Stalin", the other insist that it means "a Jew" and then we have Joseph, the son of a Jew, the third group says it's just a varian of a man's name Dzuga. Who knows?

He wos born as Hitler.

Its not a word for Jew. That's a myth based.
Well, actual Georgian word for "Jew" is "hebraeli" but some ultra-right historians derive the word "djuga" from "Israelite". Seems like Colin Jordan himself started that thread in his NS propaganda of history. So, actually I don't support this point of view either, I simply point ouit that such a point of view exists among others.

People always speculate about Stalin capturing Hitler alive to put him on trial. They really were very similar people. Paranoid mass murdering psychopaths who lead extremist ideological fringe groups in power in large industrialized nations.

I bet it would be sort of like the interrogation scene between Batman and The Joker in The Dark Knight. Hitler was a sadistic, schizophrenic, mass-murdering clown with zero empathy.

STALIN: Then why do you want to kill me?

HITLER: I don't want to kill you. What would I do without you? Go back to staging Putschs in beer halls? No...you...you complete...me. I could see us doing this for the rest of our lives. See, those Western Allied heads of state want to ditch you and go back to the way things were, but you've changed things. As long as they can use you, they'll keep you around. But they're only as good as their "morals" allow them to be. When the chips are down, these "civilized people", they'll eat each other. I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve.
