- achiu 15y agoI don't think it was the intent to make such propaganda cool, but rather more of the mistake of ignorance that it represented such things. It's been updated to something more kosher(hopefully) and fits nicer with the theme/name.
- dextorious 15y agoWho said it was a "genocidal regime"? Americans who can't even point Russia on a map and know their history from the History channel and New York Times bestseller books (if that)? For hundreds of millions of people all around the world it was an inspiration, even if faulty, and hardly comparable to nazism. So, there.
- tptacek 15y agoThe Stalinist Soviet Union that website evokes was in fact a genocidal regime. I don't know what specifically you're talking about; maybe it's some other government. It would probably be better not to hash this out on HN, though, so I've downmodded the root comment on this thread.
