Funny story. The first time I read that quote was from Call of Duty 2. I was pretty apolitical and ignorant about history. I didn't have some blanket negative view of Stalin back then so I actually liked the quote. I didn't think it was negative or some evil maniac giggling about how he could kill millions because it was a statistic. I thought he was lamenting the fact that the death of one 'great' figure would be treated as a tragedy and the deaths of millions (his countrymen) would be treated as a statistic. The Georgian poet strikes again.

Xfce has been great at giving old PCs some extra life. I've got some people using a Pentium E2180/2GB Ram/Hard Drive machine for some browsing with Mint Xfce. It runs great and is quite reliable. I just hope that it does eventually gain support for Wayland.

I want to read/listen to some theory. The only stuff I've read is 'Principles of Communism', 'Wage Labour and Capital', 'Value, Price and Profit' and I'm halfway through 'The State and Revolution'. What else would you recommend I read?

Can you share some sources for this? This sounds both amazing and extremely tragic.
