00:38

a more sophisticated conclusion which of the following is the

00:42

best revision and hear the potential answers with all right

00:54

very brutal dictators but they committed evil in different ways

01:24

dictators Yeah well man we can't take these out I

will be is awkward and we've made our feelings regarding

01:30

awkwardness and answer elimination Well known here already right It

was uplifting So let's move on Yeah the correct answer

01:37

is d despite their differences hitler and stalin equally deserve

01:41

the title of the most brutal dictator in modern history

01:44

it's structured well and it makes the thesis clear to

01:46

boot Looks like the contest for mills Brutal dictator is 00:01:49.243 --> [endTime] a tie Congratulations yes coming to broadway soon
