However to argue that this has nothing to do with linux or gnome therefore it should be deleted is simply stupid. What do flowers or swirls have to do with gnome or linux? At least this wallpaper mentions linux, unlike the army of ubunu advertisements that spam this site everyday.
Oh, and if you want to talk about offensiveness lets discuss the rampant sexism and exploitation of women in wallpapers here. How about the army of naked women with Ubuntu logos pasted onto them?
This wallpaper is obviously supposed to lampoon anti-free-software zealots, not to support stalin. If you want to condemn people on the site for being offensive at least target genuinely offensive wallpapers, not jokes.

For me Stalin is first of all a mass-murderer, but he is also the personalization of the philosophy of communism (much like Eric Stallman is for the GNU philosophy). And thoug what happened in USSR were at least as bad as what happened in Nazi-Germany, the philosophy behind Nazism is not admirable and can therefore not be compared this way.
I bet that most of us, at some point been called communists for sharing our programs, imagery, knowledge etc. etc. (i know i have plenty of times!). But then again, i come from a contry (Denmark) that have a very relaxed perception of communism. And when mentioned we thinks more about the communist philosophy that what happened in Soviet Russia (or at least i do, ask theslayer84 he's from here as well).

It is meant as a joke and nothing more, and it is made to one of my friends, who believes that Linux=Communism.
Ill try a more neutral colour next time.
