As near as I have been able to determine there are 3 statues of Stalin in all of Russia, with the one located in Moscow having the nose cut off. Yep, there is a big resurgence of Stalinism in Russia...NOT.

Well, a lot of folks in this country are still worshipping someone who's been dead for 2000 years +/-. Actually, the Resurrection is every bit as provable an event as Julius Caesar's reign in Rome or the campaigns of Alexander. He's alive.

They, each staring in his time, placed pretty similar claims on what could be poetically called human souls. Thus a comparison is both warranted, illustrative and necessary. Surely you jest.
They made the opposite claims, and took opposite actions.

Well, a now dead dissident poet Alexander Galich originated this idea in the 1970s and even produced a poetry cycle to elaborate it [that's where I took the idea from]. The claims of kingdom of Heaven vs. Stalin's kingdom on earth - to omnipotence, to eternal duration, to perpetual prayer/praise and so on were indeed identical.
So, as for "surely you jest" - any jest has to contain a big grain of truth to be called a jest.

"Ohhh, that is more like an idol or a false god."
Not to be taken literally.:-)
Actually I borrowed a phrase from Anne Rand describing communists and their "Iron Gods" of socialism.;-)
