This one from Hitler blew me the fuck out and almost made me tear up:

"Compared with Churchill, Stalin is a gigantic figure," confided Hitler to Goebbels on the eve of the battle of Stalingrad.

"Churchill has nothing to show for his life's work except a few books and clever speeches in parliament."

"Stalin on the other hand has without a doubt - leaving aside the question of what principle he was serving- reorganised a state of 170 million people and prepared it for a massive armed conflict."

"If Stalin ever fell into my hands, I would probably spare him and perhaps even exile him to some spa; Churchill and Roosevelt would be hanged."

Source: "Stalin's Wars" by Geoffrey Roberts, pg 373

Why does that crap make you tear up? It's butthurt ramblings of a pathetic dipshit.

The more time goes on, the more I get the impression that Hitler and Stalin would have been friends had Germany been able to retake her 1917 borders without war with Russia. I heard a story where Stalin would often pound his head on his desk and say "Hitler, think of what we could have done together."

War is such a depressing thing.

"The nature of Christ’s existence is mysterious, I admit; but this mystery meets the wants of man. Reject it and the world is an explicable riddle; believe it, and the history of our race is satisfactorily explained.I know men, and I tell you that Jesus is not a man. Superficial minds see a resemblance between Christ and the founders of empires, and the gods of other religions, that resemblance does not exist. There is between Christianity and other religions, the distance of infinity.I know men; and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between Him and every person in the world there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded His empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for him."
Don't want religion in this but napoleon's quote on Jesus is pretty interesting

He didn't realize the Anglos had decoded his enigma machine and were supplying Stalin through the back door.

“The Jesuits…are simply the Romish army for the earthly sovereignty of the world in the future, with the Pontiff of Rome for emperor…that’s their ideal. …It is simple lust of power, of filthy earthly gain, of domination – something like a universal serfdom with them [i.e., the Jesuits] as masters – that’s all they stand for. They don’t even believe in God .”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-1881)

Cliche ones, but I love when marx gets more poetic.

>Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living. And just as they seem to be occupied with revolutionizing themselves and things, creating something that did not exist before, precisely in such epochs of revolutionary crisis they anxiously conjure up the spirits of the past to their service, borrowing from them names, battle slogans, and costumes in order to present this new scene in world history in time-honored disguise and borrowed language. Thus Luther put on the mask of the Apostle Paul, the Revolution of 1789-1814 draped itself alternately in the guise of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, and the Revolution of 1848 knew nothing better to do than to parody, now 1789, now the revolutionary tradition of 1793-95.

>Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo.

Why didn't Stalin simply have Beria killed after that? Going after the boss's daughter is a step too far.
>>
>>2932103
>Women also submitted to Beria's sexual advances in exchange for the promise of freeing their relatives from the Gulag. In one case, Beria picked up Tatiana Okunevskaya – a well-known Soviet actress – under the pretence of bringing her to perform for the Politburo. Instead he took her to his dacha where he offered to free her father and grandmother from NKVD prison if she submitted. He then raped her telling her "scream or not, it doesn't matter."[47] Yet Beria already knew her relatives had been executed months earlier. Okunevskaya was arrested shortly afterwards and sentenced to solitary confinement in the Gulag from which she survived.
the absoloute mad man

but Stormfront told me that Hitler wanted peace with Britain and hated Bolshevism????

this quote unironically inspired me because I assumed it was from like 1944 or 45 until I got to the end of it and read the date

that's true,if you deny this, you're a fucking kike

Why can't you appreciate an interesting Hitler quote without being an unhinged hysteric? Are you Jewish?

>>2933845
His poems are even worse.
>>
>>2933129
But he's the only one that could secure a true alliance with the SU.
>>
>>2933129
Also, Hitler's economic policies only worked because he used literal scams to fund the economy.
>>
>>2932075
Well they were the only two rulers of the only two totalitarian states to ever exist.
I suppose it's an exclusive club.
