    That evidence was collected by people, and can be falsified. If it had all been gathered by one group, that would be a problem. The Soviets and the USA are certainly not in the same group, though, so when they agree on an account, that is good evidence.

    Your claim that Stalin seriously attempted to resign might potentially be false. Can you admit that?

      You’re trying to distract from avoiding the question at hand.

      The Soviets and the USA are certainly not in the same group, though, so when they agree on an account, that is good evidence.

      You’d accept as fact anything the Soviets and U$ agree on?

      You’ll need to accept that “Even in Stalin’s time there was collective leadership. The Western idea of a dictator within the Communist setup is exaggerated. Misunderstandings on the subject are caused by the lack of comprehension of the real nature she organization of the communist power structure. Stalin, although holding wide powers was merely the captain of a team…”.

      I’m looking forward to you admitting that you were wrong about Stalin. Or, will you just revise what you consider as good evidence to avoid it?

      Your claim that Stalin seriously attempted to resign might potentially be false. Can you admit that?

      I don’t see any evidence or reason to think it is false. I’ll be happy to revisit that stance when evidence is presented.

        So, you cannot admit even the possibility it could be false.

        This is faith, no different from religion. I do not think I can get through to you.

          This isn’t a response to what I said.

          You very conveniently ignored the bit in that comment where your own argument forces you to admit that you’re wrong about Stalin.

          This is faith, no different from religion. I do not think I can get through to you.

          I get that you’re having trouble with cognitive dissonance, but this isn’t a response to “I would need evidence”.
