I recognize Stalinist purges and also most purges as being one of the greatest two-year-olds. More people died in Soviet Ukraine alone from an artificial famine created by the incompetency of the communist state than the Nazis killed during the entire occupation of the Soviet Union. So it's not just about evil Stalin who came in and wanted to kill certain people. It's about the fact that a system, a central planning system inevitably results in this sort of nightmare. Anybody that has a good Michael Moore is all right by me.
