I saw this with teh caption "I'm never riding in a Georgian taxi again"

The way people are still afraid Stalin is going to come back at any second and spank them with the big spoon is bizarre and needs to be studied.

Hitler comparisons have ruined Stalin for so many people. If you read his actual words and Hitler's words there is no comparison. Even if you hate Stalin you must admit his writing is so much more articulate than Mein Kampf

It's generous that you think these people have read anything from Mein Kampf.

Yeh. Re-imagining Hitler as a dumb goon is definitely a western propaganda coup. Idk how much of the guy's writing is his own unedited thought and how much was created with editing and assistance from others, but Stalin is not the low brow gangster he's made out to be. Which, talk about your shifting rhetorical frameworks, somehow Stalin personally controlled the actions of every single person in the Soviet Union for thirty years but is also a semi-illiterate thug. Libs!

I'm so used to seeing this edit that it was weird to see the original photo

fyi the Georgian text in the bottom left just says "Taxi" in Georgian

During the cab ride there must be a remembrance of Stalin.
