I am simply qualifying Stalin’s insight into the real reasons of World War II. Simply put, Stalin’s economic and political strategies were far worse — and that, in itself, damages his credibility (obviously).

I didn’t say “Too bad Stalinist authoritarianism was an utter failure,” because socialism (or purported socialism) is a better than capitalism. The last statement is a sarcastic way of saying that Stalin was wrong and his seemingly prescient comment doesn’t hold much authority.

I was simply stating that Stalin’s credibility to critique capitalist democracies is severely tarnished by his poor track record.

For the record, I like capitalism. Although that is an extremely inclusive or general statement. I, for the most part, disdain free-market capitalism based upon neoliberal ideas, because they never work and they destroy countries.

I do, however, favor Keynesian economics (that which our country has prospered from) and the economic ideas of John Maynard Keynes and Harry Hopkins.

Let’s be honest, when globalism finds its way into a less developed nation, the results are disastrous.

Honestly, does the statement still seem inappropriate and political retarded? I know what I meant to say, but perhaps I am unable to see around some literary mishap I’ve made.

I imagine you didn’t really mean that and that it was perhaps just inartfully put (who among us has not been guilty of that?).
