"Don’t get all PC just because Stalin killed 20 million of his own people between 1936 and 1938. Yes, that sounds like a lot, but hindsight is 20/20. Did Hitler overreact when he executed 14 million Jews, Gypsies, Russian and Polish POW’s, homosexuals and the handicapped, or is it time they took some responsibility for being unpure and provoking him? Who can say for sure? Oliver Stone just asks that you keep an open mind. Look, we can play the blame game all day, but a bunch of finger pointing isn’t gonna solve anything.""If all you focus on is the time in 1933 when Stalin had 6000 of his own people rounded up and dumped on a remote island with no food or shelter, meaning they were forced to start killing and eating each other, well then of course Stalin is gonna look evil. Lots of ideas can look bad if you put them under a microscope, but do a few isolated incidents make someone a bad person? Who are we to judge? That’s all Stone was trying to say."
