Much like capitalists don't make goods, Stalin didn't win a war. Great man theory is lib shit.

Sharp dialectics you picked up there, be careful to not cut yourself with it, no one said ww2 was just Stalin and Hitler engaging in a fistfight. But if it pleases you, here is a less offensive version: without [nameless non-great individual who would have done what Stalin did] Hitler would have won the war.
