I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

He was supposed to be very crude adn vulgar.  Once while his daughter was serving tea to he and his minions he asked the room at large, "I wonder who is fucking her lately?" or something to that effect.

Russians (including wannabes like Stalin) are generally crude, vulgar, brutal, etc.  Such is the Russian peasant mind.

Dumbasses shouldn't have killed/chased off their aristocracy.

Yeah, their aristocracy did make the peasants look smooth, erudite, and compassionate by comparison.  Once they were gone, the truth became more obvious.

That one was pretty good, as far as anti-Hitler-memes Hitler memes go.

My impression of him is that he was quite intelligent, see f.ex. his arguments with H.G. Wells on matters of political philosophy and economics: http://www.rationalrevoluton.net/special/library/cc835_44.htm

(Other interviews will give you the same impression, see f.ex. this one with the famous german biographer E. Ludwig: http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1931/dec/13.htm)
