I'm saying, both are mass murderers. They are both horrible people. Thus the joke.
And the "not joke" part is – Stalin have DEEP impact of the rest of the world, even after his death. The "success" of the Soviet caused multiple communist wars and insurgencies that caused endless amount of sufferings and death – one that is still felt today.
Even obscured ones like Singaporean communists that fled Malaya-Singapore after they lost their war against the local governments + British and living in south Thailand – and STILL dreaming of returning to Singapore someday (but they are banned)
How about Korean War? Vietnam War? these are all Stalin's legacy….
Its dark humor. But people cannot see beyond the superficial. Comparing only the direct actions/decisions when they are alive. Even at that, both killed millions.
No amount of good can justify that.
Thats quantum times worse than trying to justify Russia's invasion of Ukraine right now.
