Stalinist henchmen... SURVIVOR! Second Edition
Three years ago I was bored and decided to do what I called "Stalinist Henchman Survivor" which was slightly amusing. I figure I'd do another one.
Basically, there's a list of people (in this case Stalin's "henchmen," rather loosely defined) and the goal is to vote to eliminate a person from the list, and thus eventually the "best" of the bunch remains. Basically, seeing who RevLeft considers the "best Stalinist" out of the bunch. Ties get eliminated simultaneously. Each round is one day long.

Comrade Samuel: The defender of truth, justice and the un-American way.
Khrushchev. Let the purges begin!

Hoxha
Is this resistance or a costume party?
Either way I think black with bandanas is a boring theme.

Dude, Ismail is going to find you.
Comrade Samuel: The defender of truth, justice and the un-American way.
Togliatti needs to go.
Edit: On second thought, Browder. I will vote for him every day until he's gone. Worst guy on the list by far.

Khrushchev got two votes whereas others only got 1, so Khrushchev shall dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
After Timoshenko and Khrushchev botched a military operation during the Great Patriotic War, Stalin, in front of a number of other commanders, later "emptied his pipe on Khrushchev's head: 'That's in accordance with Roman tradition,' he said. 'When a Roman commander lost a battle, he poured ashes on his own head . . . the greatest disgrace a commander could endure.'" (Stalin: Court of the Red Tsar, p. 416.)

Beria. Fuck Beria.
P.S. This is fun.

Bukharin, right oppositionist scum.
Beria has always been the suspicious one. Away with him!
