Josip Broz Tito was legit great as long as you weren't a separatist or a Stalinist.
>>1181306
>genociding Jews

Jews are the most intelligent people that changed the world again and again. God himself came to Earth as a Jewish man.

Apparently him. Which is weird once you consider how much of a bloodthirsty cunt was his brother, and how ruthless was his father.
Power is inherently corrupt. There are no benevolent rulers as power itself is most benevolent to those who wield it at the expense of all others.
Louis IX
His presidency was mediorce at best, but as a human Grant had one of the biggest hearts.

no, hes not
tito was totaly based
after 1948 he realy just went after stalinists and nationalists
if you survived till 1947 you were just left alone if you werent a idiot
after like 75 even goli otok was just for criminals
granted he did sort of fuck up in 71
and bleighburgh, that wast necesary, not that way.... and the foibe, and esoly, and the wolksdoichers.... but that was all before 48
but realy the biggest mistake he ever did was to die
but i guess that part couldnt be helped
>>1181836
>Freed
By installing a totalitarian regime that killed millions and people fled from.
>>1182873
Bleiburg was only a mistake as far as it's foiled to the Chetniks. Tito should have either pardoned and allowed mass defection of both Ustase and Chetniks, or he should have massacred both.
>>1182950
but he did massacre chetniks
most of the chetnik movement got anihilated completely, both in the fighting and after the war, there was defection, more so than with the croats since serbia, as in the region where mostly nedichevci were based under german protectorate, only realy joined the resistance around 44, so logicaly lots of chetniks got trough, but the majority, especialy the mihajlovich side which fought alongside italians and germans in both bosna and croatia, got almost completely slaughtered, but so did most of the others, together with family, it was a total purge
i mean drazha has two comemorative graves, one in illinois one in australia, but no body to be found, its like a serbian urban mith, the body of generala draže
>>1182978
hundreds of thousands of people got killed and expelled betveen 45 and 48

As far as I understand it, more Chetniks were spared/given the choice to defect late in the war because (1) Chetniks were fucking everywhere, in the wilderness all throughout Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Bosnia, and half of Croatia, and (2) they were only quasi-monarchists, and not the fascists that were the Partisans' most obdurate enemy and boogeyman, so they could be spared more easily without negative publicity. Reason 1 means that hunting down and killing all Chetniks is a goddamn hard job, while the Ustase were all focused in the northwest, pretty focused in one place.
Of course the Partisans killed both Ustase and Chetniks left and right earlier in the war, but when the end came and the war became a race for territory and axis equipment, speed was of the essence. The reprisals against high ranking and zealous Chetniks could wait until later.
>>1179851
well, it should be noted that it's inevitable than any leader at that echelon of power will inevitably do some pretty evil shit in terms of conventional morality
it simply comes with the territory, if you get that powerful, you will have unnecessary innocent blood on your hands in some capacity, that's just how it is

Everyone says the same thing about Greeks and Turks, both of whom are known for dishonesty. Why don't you imbeciles understand that life in that region breeds dishonesty? Don't blame the Jews and Armenians just because they're intelligent enough to make their shit work while you shifty eyed little bastards can't move beyond ripping off tourists.

I don't think Ataturk supported that, though. Didn't he speak out against it?

He was undoubtedly the single most important and powerful leader in all of modern history, and shaped the world as we know it.
I'd say he had the right to be a megalomaniac

Governor Albrecht von Rechenburg.

Pretty good meritocratic reforms.
Hubris got to him though. Still, more rational than Robespierre or Danton.
Maud'Dib may have unleashed the Arrakean Jihad and killed tens of billions, but he had to do it.
Without him we would have never had the 3,000 year reign of the God Emperor Worm King Leto II. Even the Duncan Idaho clones agree.

Nah, I just follow /sffg/ on /lit/ and the few interesting threads on /his/. I saw Marcus Aurelius and thought someone might post my hero Sulla. I can definitely see how the tiniest distraction can get you to read twenty pages before saying "what the fuck has been happening".
