Oh yeah, I know that giving up all of my posessions and turning them over to the collective sounds like a great idea on paper. Toilet paper. Stalin did give communism a bad name. Just like all the other brutal communist dictators--basically all of them. Not recognizing that stealing everyone's property requires a lot of horrible violence is a pretty basic blindness.
If there was a country somewhere where the people responded to government theft and strongarming with sweetness, light, and delicious submission, then communism wouldn't be regarded as such a nasty ideology. Not even in Belgium.
They were both incomprehensibly evil, but I'm going to say Stalin was worse--because people still have the temerity to say, to this day, that communism was a good idea (not referring to 1024, he just said it looked good on paper). How many people are walking around claiming that Naziism was just 'implemented poorly' and would be better next time? Far as I'm concerned, modern day communist sympathizers are no better than members of Neo-nazi groups. They're murderers in waiting.
