Stalin, what is best in life?

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

    A quote by Robert E Howard's fictitious character. His parents slaughtered before him. Then taken in by their killers. Gaslit and trained to become an unthinking murderer. A bit too on the nose to be tongue in cheek.

    Stalin absolutely was a monster, like Andrew Jackson or Hitler. Definitely not someone to be lionized, praised or joked about.

    People being the enemy of the government is natural as breathing. A government that turns its people into the enemy is unconscionable and should not stand.

    I will say this about Conan though. He grew as a character, despite that.
