Stalin stopped the USSR from going the way of Cambodia. Churchill destroyed his own country rather than accept peace. Mao was a murderous lunatic but his worst crimes were when he had to unleash uncontrollable forces to survive. Reasonable case for Churchill or Mao.

Stalin takes nominal power in a situation where everyone is in a deadly competition to outflank everyone else to the left. He asserts control and (murderously) changes the state to a stable bureaucratic one where everyone left with power is a pure cynic. Cambodia was worse.

Granting the dubious argument that a ruthless dictatorship was the only way forward, who other than Stalin forced Stalin to implement the collectivisation of agriculture?

Replying to @Bioliberalism @CovfefeAnon and
"Churchill destroyed his own country rather than accept peace." When did this happen, exactly? "Mao was a murderous lunatic but his worst crimes were when he had to unleash uncontrollable forces to survive." How is placing personal survival above millions of lives not a crime?

>How is placing personal survival above millions of lives not a crime? It clearly is a crime in a moral sense.
