Know Thyself 27: 2nd Worst Ever -- The Man of Steel

The History of Being Human - A podcast by Noel Armstrong

The Real Life Big Brother that brought fear, suspicion, and distrust to the lives of 200 million people.  A man who believed you should kill your enemies, but kill your friends first. He demanded suppression, repression, execution, deportation, and propaganda on an empiric scale.  A man so vain that showing a picture of him with his blemishes could put you on his list of enemies. He sent squads to ice-axe murder a rival. His final activity as leader was to plan another glorious show-trial terror campaign against, get ready for it, Jewish doctors. This one couldn't die soon enough.      Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-history-of-being-human--5806452/support.
