Problems with this article

The article provides an incomplete summary of the sole source it uses, and does not present any other views. There I will tag it for these problems. Please correct these deficiencies before removing the tags. There is btw little reason to create stubs of controversial topics unless one intends to expand them. TFD (talk) 02:50, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Well, it is a stub, but it has great scope for expansion. --Martin (talk) 04:02, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
I do not see that the stub is informative. BTW you may wish to provide a better description of the picture you added. It provides the false impression that Hitler and Stalin were photographed together. I wonder too how a Nazi propaganda picture helps readers understand the subject.

POV Issue

The words in the way they are used are undeniably a blatant attempt to remove any good will toward both of the regimes. --The Σ contribs 18:02, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

You are of the opinion that these regimes deserve goodwill? Are you perhaps drunk? This is your excuse for reverting in a POV tag? The Last Angry Man (talk) 18:04, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
(edit conflict) Just the titles in the bibliography show ridiculous amounts of POV, labeling Communism as fascism (which are complete opposites), and attempting to call Nazism totalitarian, where it is obviously authoritarian. --The Σ contribs 18:07, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
The two regime types are compared by multipile sources, please explain clearly what you think is not neutral, waving your hands and saying all of it is hardly a response. The Last Angry Man (talk) 18:11, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
Hang on, your saying the titles of the books are POV? We can hardly change the titles of books can we? The Last Angry Man (talk) 18:12, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
(edit conflict) Read it and compare it to Communism and tell me the difference. Hint: The latter is much more neutral. --The Σ contribs 18:13, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
(adding) I'm saying you don't even need to open the books - Just looking at the title makes it drip with a point of view. --The Σ contribs 18:14, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
All those books appear to be from academic publishing houses, take it up with them if you do not like the titles of the books they publish. Your dislike of some book titles is not a valid reason for a POV tag. The Last Angry Man (talk) 18:17, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

You have failed to answer the other comment. Compare this article to Communism and tell me the point-of-view difference. --The Σ contribs 18:19, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

I have no need to read another article, this is a different subject after all, and of course wiki is not a reliable source. Please point out which part of the article content you believe is not neutral. The Last Angry Man (talk) 18:24, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
Pretty much the lead section. --The Σ contribs 18:26, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
