Raskin knows that Stalin’s employee layoffs were rather more permanent in nature, but he doesn’t care.
Alas though, many years from now, Trump’s obit in the New York Times won’t be anywhere near as glowing as the encomium they wrote in 1953 for one of the 20th century’s most bloodthirsty tyrants: Stalin Rose From Czarist Oppression to Transform Russia Into Mighty Socialist State.

Leftists have done this not only to ‘Hitler,’ ‘Nazi’ and ‘fascist’ but to ‘genocide,’ ‘apartheid,’ ‘racist’ and virtually every other term connoting evil. It started with Stalin calling Trotsky a fascist and it continues to this day.”
