:16:00
There's my 1,000-year Reich.
:16:05
We gave them all
:16:07
much to brood over,
didn't we, Joseph?
:16:17
Hitler: We were each islands
of strength and will
:16:21
surrounded
by great muttonherds
:16:23
of sheep-like followers.
:16:27
Stalin,
you little babushka,
:16:31
you were going to invade me,
but l invaded you first.
:16:36
We knew that liberty,
equality, and democracy
:16:40
are the grandest nonsense.
:16:44
But war is the most simple
affirmation of life.
:16:48
But l do not admire him.
:16:54
Envy? Stalin?
:16:57
Paah!
A footnote.
:16:59
A footnote
if he's fortunate.
:17:02
Stalin killed millions
of his own people,
:17:05
but he killed
without grace.
:17:08
He ruled by fear.
:17:10
l ruled by passion,
:17:13
and ecstasy!
:17:16
Stalin had
no sense of form.
:17:21
Yes, he got
people's attention,
:17:24
but with force
:17:26
and random brutality.
:17:29
He's a barbarian of genius.
:17:32
So what!
:17:36
He offered nothing
:17:38
to hypnotize
or transform his people.
:17:42
Where is the drama
in slaughtering
:17:44
well-to-do farmers?
:17:51
Stalin misunderstood
:17:55
the principals of opera.
