Try to take Hitler out should be hopefully on many people's minds. Em... should've been.

Let's not forget who it was that was above his bunker when he killed himself: the Red Army. The Communists.

Lets not forget that stalin was allied with Hitler early on, and they only came to be at odds because Hitler stupidly invaded Russia. The "communists" are not some sort of default good guys back then, or now. They are as morally bankrupt and inhumane as the capitalists, just poorer.

I don't think that's a particularly good idea. Hitler was charismatic, but there's a pretty strong impression among historians that he made a lot of dumb decisions that ultimately helped the Nazis lose. If you take out the bungler after they're already in power, he gets replaced by a more competent leader who won't make as many mistakes.

Yes. Let's never do anything to improve our situation because it might actually deteriorate. With that kind of mindset, you better never leave your bed.

I didn't say never do anything, I said this specific thing could most likely do more harm than good.
