How many people did Stalin have killed? 10 million? 20 million? 30 million? How many angels can dance on a pinhead?

Exactly, 10, 20, 30, 50, 100 million (yes, I've seen this stated). It doesn't matter, anyone can quote any figure that strikes their fancy, no matter how absurd, and it is instantly accepted as fact. Indoctrination works like magic.

Indoctrination does work like magic. Look at all those
useful idiots that wrote about the "new homo sovieticus"
or new soviet man, blathering on about the glories of
stalin, even while stalin was starving millions in the
Ukraine (yes, PC, millions) and liquidating the Kulaks
throughout Russia proper. Yes, Comrade Stalin new first hand about the magic of
indoctrination and the impact it can have on
the easily deceived.
