    I entirely blame the stupid political compass for shit like this. There's even a part in the explanation where the authors claim Hitler and Stalin would have gotten along in a conversation about politics so long as they didn't mention economics. Yes, Hitler and Stalin, two enemy commanders in the largest war ever, got along in regards to politics.
