It just goes to prove that zealots, wether politic or religious, are two sides of the same coin...
From the "Red Alert" review
quote:
The game's portrayal of Josef Stalin is a laughable caricature. He's a paranoid, anger-prone, spoiled dictator who has underlings killed at a whim and sleeps with his female intelligence officer. "It came to Stalin in a series of dreams," claims the manual. "The birthright of the Soviet Empire is nothing less than conquering and dominating the entire globe. And the birthright of Josef Stalin is nothing less than conquering the spirit and dominating the actions of every Soviet citizen." |
Well, duh. Does the word "crazy paranoid dictator" ring a bell? 
quote:
Red Alert is 100% pure grade ruling class propraganda and serves as an excellent example as such. The ruling class perspective is the only education this game will provide. Sadly, for many Western teens, games such as Red Alert will be among their only education about the USSR and communism. "Command and Conquer: Red Alert" revels in violence. In effect, it is fascist-sympathizing, as it assumes that the removal of Hitler (and fascism) would be a negative thing. This attitude is similar to the sick people on the internet who populate a variety of forums and ask "Why didn't the Western Allies and Nazis team up to defeat communism?" as if it would have been the most desirable result. |
I´m sure there´s none of them here...

I'm hoping and assuming that by "good ideas" you mean communism in general, not the wonderful tidbits about Stalin not being a psychopath, the u$ of Amerikkka, and so on?

I mean many of the general ideas he presented on life and society, although they weren't put in good words. His revisionism is boring, and stupid, but that's always the case with revisionism. The fact that he presents it in a very poor fashion doesn't make the ideology flawed ( there are other thing that do this ). It's like using fez' posts to "prove" that capitalism, and esp. it's more extreme parts are wrong and smuggly going "hur hur hur" over the fake victory.
P.S.
as a side note, mao's communist beginnings, btw, are questionable, on the whole.
