      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 …

      @JStein_WaPo I say this as a lefty-Jew: Writers from Timothy Snyder to Martin Amis to Vasily Grossman have made the case, and somewhat compellingly, that Stalin was roughly analogous to Hitler. I'd still say Hitler stands alone, but Stalin killed millions of civilians; it's close

      This is shifting the argument away from what Stephens actually said (that Russian invasion of Poland was "no less murderous" than Germany's) to something different (who killed more over all). The first statement is factually wrong & also parallels fascist arguments.

          Fair enough. I meant just to expand the discussion, but I may be overly-sensitive; I've dealt with a lot of Stalin-apologists on here lately. One guy argued with me this week that Hillary Clinton was "objectively" worse than Stalin, another that Stalin was preferable to FDR.

          Also, I should've read more carefully.

          during the period when they BOTH invaded Poland, the body count was 50,000 to 22,000. And they killed the same groups of people

          Like Ross Douthat, the other NYT scribbler with a soft spot for fascism, Bret Stephens is a big fan of Augusto Pinochet. So it's no big shocker he's indulging himself in some Holocaust "revisionism".
