      There's so much wrong with the Stepens column, but this is worth flagging. Stalin's committed many crimes in Poland (most notoriously the Katyn massacre). But to say Stalin's invasion was "no less murderous" than Hitler's is to engage in a very dangerous form of mythmaking. https://twitter.com/JStein_WaPo/status/1167599186201710594 …

      I really want to move on beyond Stephens but that comment about Polish history is wrong & odious. It'll be interesting to see if the Times lets it stand or issues a correction.

      So: here's what we have to watch for: will the NY Times stand by Stephens claim that Stalin's invasion of Poland was "no less murderous" than Hitler's or will they acknowledge that it is 1) false 2) echoes "both-sides" attempts to exonerate Nazism.

          3) "It is just an opinion piece" and cancel Stephens (or even the whole opinion section)?

          Only Stalinists want the history of Second World War to be told accurately? I don't think that's true on any level.

          Conservatives do this a lot. They hint at a real problem on the left (like the unwillingness of some leftists to properly condemn Mao/Che/Castro/Stalin) and then say something horribly stupid in the process. Then, people focus more on the hyperbolic point than anything else

          Strawmen of the left unite you have nothing to lose other than your love of Stalin. Name a Stalin apologist who is not a marginal crank.

          No and No they have let this go on so long that would be admitting to managerial incompetence. 🤔

          The number of world leaders complicit in mass murder at that point in history are many.
