True, but if it was up to me I would have assasinated Stalin, or send him in exile, Tho assasination is better.
Now it really doesn't change the fact that Lening was one of the greatest leaders of all times. All who followed his foodsteps failed (for different reasons tho).
Now about Hitler, I partly agree with Lil stating that Hitler probably did have a specific tactic in his non violent anexations of Austria and Tsjechoslovakia + the neatly orchestrated trick in Poland.
But to me this shows a great political mind, which Hitler was (ofcourse his crew played an important role).
Now his military skills were very very poor, in that area I agree with Bardock. If Hitler had listened to his generals a little more and if he wouldn't have been blinded by hatred so much he would have had some good chances.
I won't debate the military mistakes of the third reich in this thread since it's not the topic.
In final both Lenin and Hitler had the same political flaw, Hitler more than Lenin. Altho with Hitler it had become irrelevant.
The problem is succession. It's a big problem which has haunted almost any great sole ruler.

Is the voting still on? My vote goes for Lenin too, though I wonder what would Salvador Allende have done if Chile weren't taken over like it was...
