If you find any posts defending Stalin in this thread, then you should take a few lessons in English. Half the posts in this thread accuse Stalin in all kinds of nonsense (refer to your post for an example), and another half merely requests any evidence to support these accusation. None has been provided so far. Would you be willing to correct this unhappy discrepancy?
Plenty has been provided, you just claimed ( without any backing or references ) that it's false.

I have asked you on a number of occasions to back your own claims up, and you never once did ( except on one instance in the gun thread.
I agree, that I don't recall you defending Stalin in blunt terms ( only calling anything against him "rubbish."
Perhaps actually backing it up as "rubbish" ( therefore, defending Stalin ) is a line you are unwilling to cross.

As for another point, I know of very few dictators throughout history who didn't do some good. A good leader is someone who does allot of good and very little bad. Stalin in truth did a great deal of both, but still far to much bad to be outweighed.
Stalin is not alone. Vlad the Impaler defeated the Turkish empire and opened the door for Romania to become an independent country, Ganges Kahn in many ways was arguably a good guy in essence, who brought his people to peace with eachother and sought to overthrow China, not out of greed but out of personal dispute between Mongolia and China and if it weren't for the total destruction of Kwarazm, he would probably be considered a hero by the common view today.
He also let his people be as long as they didn't cause trouble and was very protective of women.
Saddam Hussein helped the US in the conflict against Iran, made a large contribution to archeological research and revived Iraq's industry to what is starting to look like a very good future for the Iraqis, which probably never would have happened had he gone in to power.
Even Osama Bin Laden made some positive contributions to society at one time.
Like the above, Stalin did accomplish some good during his reign,but it didn't outweigh his evils.
