Talk:Oliver Cromwell/@comment-4561723-20140328152118

Cromwell was the hypocrite who forced people to live miserable except for the hundreds of thousands (perhaps millions?) he killed. If slaughtering those who can't defend themselves make you a great general then he ranks right up there with the others who let their men rape and kill the civilians after a battle.

Removing feudal influence would only count as "a good thing" if he had replaced it with something better...instead we got the slavery of his Puritan tyranny.
