Figure of speech Brian. I was alluding to the organizational paradigm rather than the politics.
And say what you like about the old bastard, he got those steel plants, electrical plants and T-34 factories up and running FAST. Faster than anything achieved by any other industrializing nation before or since. Sure he wrecked raw materials gathering, destroyed agriculture and killed millions of people doing it, but if your only criteria is to get the FF generators up and running as fast as humanly possible and stop global warming before it becomes irreversible, then that’s unfortunatly the paradigm you have to be looking at.
Preferably with vastly less killing, naturally.
