The laws of grammar, punctuation (and thankfully) spelling do not apply to the great Tabs'. His words are perfect, meaning nothing more or less than he intends, and your misunderstanding of them reflect the reader's misperception of them; not Tab's failure to communicate. On matter of taste, he is infallible, except for the time he offered me a painting for a mere $1,500 when it was worth tens of thousands. But he made up for that oversight by pulling the painting before I had time to figure out what I had.
Tabby, when's the art store going to open again? MRM needs some watercolors.

Aborations...LOL what is that prey tell?
Hitler did represent the darker side of the European psych. however his coming to power was still a fluke of the perfect storm. In that sense Hitler wasn't an aberration of history.
Stalin..was a far more venal darkster..and was much more an aberration of history than Hitler. Hitler in a sense over threw a political system and molded it to his own way of thinking. Hitler also depended up his followers to do his bidding as a charismatic leader. Stalin ruthlessly worked within the already established Soviet system to take control and depended upon no one to maintain that control. If Stalin had a different personality, the Soviet Union would have been a different place.
Stalin had no regard for anyone or anything and was all about self aggrandizement, Hitler on the other hand had a vision for the German people and nation. Hitler was about something greater than himself. Hitler saw himself as being the instrument of that vision. Stalin had no vision of a greater good. For Stalin it was all about maintaining power.
Even Mao had the greater good of China in mind.
The Art store is going to be open soon.
