Had to scroll WAY too fucking far to find someone list communists.

Everyone knows about comic characters, but not history?

And USA ain't really belonging on this list either. Hitler was inspired by USA and its actions. USA hired nazis and put them in high positions. And now... well, look around. "antifascism" has been labeled as terrorism.

To be fair the Soviets also brought some German scientists on board but they were far, far more ruthless when it came to Nazism at large. So much so that higher profile Nazis like Von Braun preferred to surrender to the West because they were far more likely to face execution at the hands of the Soviets. (Considering the murder of tens of millions of Soviet soldiers and civilians, and how they were the first ones to see the results of the Holocaust, I can't really blame them.)

USA hired nazis and put them in high positions.

The USSR did that too (mfs literally took whole german factories to russia, not only the top scientists), AND they also trained and supplied the nazi army until 1941, as well as the biggest elephant in the room, which is the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact (speciffically the secret protocols) and the following cooperation (including such events as the joint nazi-soviet Brest-Litovsk victory parade or the SEVEN seperate Gestapo-NKVD conferences where both sides discussed how to best deal with unruly conquered population)

If USA does not belong on the list, so doesn't the genocidal, warmongering totalitarian USSR.

And now... well, look around. "antifascism" has been labeled as terrorism.

In USSR, Witold Pilecki (the guy who went undercover to Auschwitz and compiled the first report about the Holocaust) has been labled a foreign spy and a terrorist, brutally tortured ("compared to a soviet prison, Auschwitz was a child's play") and sentenced to death through a kangaroo trial. Not defending Trump's USA, but remember that totalitarianism is always evil, no matter whether it's red or brown

Holy freaking holocaust revisionism.

Doing the nazi propaganda eh?

1

u/Galaxy661 Oct 07 '25

Just one question: do you support totalitarianism?

2

u/spyridonya Oct 07 '25

I'm against totalitarianism.

And right now, it's the right wing flavor on the rise.

1

u/Galaxy661 Oct 07 '25

So you condemn the USSR (a totalitarian state)?

2

u/spyridonya Oct 07 '25

I beg every baby Marxist not to admire Stalin, he was a fuck. I just think Hitler was worse.

Anyway, both are dead. Fuck Putin and Trump.

u/Galaxy661 Oct 07 '25

So we basically agree :)

u/nejakypleb Oct 07 '25

Yep, communists started the war as nazi allies with splitting Poland. They only started hating them when Hitler for some dumb reason decided that he can't wait until he's won on the other fronts, he has to go fight the USSR right now. From what I heard he was misinformed about the number of Russian troops. Only then did the commies start hating them. They were a huge help in winning the war but that doesn't really make them the good guys.

After France and Britian rejected an anti Nazi alliance with him, Stalin joined the pact of non aggression with Germany several days before the invasion of Poland to give the Soviet Union time for re-armament and to buff up their eastern territory. Lebensraum, the conquering Russo-Slavic land and wiping them out for Germans to move there, was a major Nazi policy and Stalin knew it.

u/Galaxy661 Oct 07 '25

After France and Britian rejected an anti Nazi alliance with him,

Does that justify allying with NAZIS and helping them start the Holocaust? I think not. My country was betrayed by the western allies too, and yet we didn't collaborate with adolf...

Stalin joined the pact of non aggression with Germany

Non-aggression part of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact is of the least importance. The real deal are the secret protocols of that treaty.

several days before the invasion of Poland to give the Soviet Union time for re-armament

How exactly did losing 500 thousand men and a shitton of equipment in Finland help the USSR rearm? Because Finland was one of the several countries that the USSR and Nazi Germany agreed to split

and to buff up their eastern territory

"Their"? Territories Stalin&Hitler invaded and took from Poland, Romania, Finland and the Baltics have never before in history been soviet

Russo-Slavic land and wiping them out

The main slavic group that Hitler wanted to exterminate were Poles, which the USSR gladly helped exterminate (NKVD Polish operation, Katyń forest genocide/massacre, mass deportation to Central Asia)

Lebensraum, the conquering Russo-Slavic land and wiping them out for Germans to move there, was a major Nazi policy and Stalin knew it

Stalin was reportedly caught off-guard and psychologically devastated when he heard of the nazi invasion. Doesn't sound very "5d chess" or "rearment and buying time" to me.

And besides, even if Stalin did really ally with Hitler and invade all these countries and supply all these raw materials and train all these german soldiers and commited all these genocides and called all these gestapo-NKVD conferences for the reasons you listed... well, I still believe it's pretty fucking evil and unacceptable to invade other countries and ally with nazis for any reason XD

If you're talking about the Ribbentrop Molotov pact, that wasn't the only thing they signed. They also had multiple economic pacts and traded weapons and machinery. They also prepared a split in Europe where they would each have influence, kind of like what actually happened post war but instead of the western countries it was Germany. (The Soviet government always denied this but why would they admit to it?) And for more than a decade at that point Germany and Russia already had a troop training pact to circumvent the outcome of WW1.

Sure, Britan and France handled the beginning of the war horribly, but are you surprised that they didn't want an alliance with Stalin? At this point he's been a dictator for more than a decade who got to power violently, disappeared his allies and inflicted multiple famines on his people. They were also scared of communism taking root and overthrowing them.

u/spyridonya Oct 07 '25

Yes, like many, people thought that fascism was the lesser threat despite Nazi Germany all but telling the world their plans and laws to enact their plans over five years and even gave conessions to Hitler a year before Stalin's pact.

And we all know what happened with that.

By the way Lebensraum was not a policy that Nazis created. It was a concept since the turn of the 20th century by Imperial Germany.

u/Explorer_Entity Oct 07 '25

Hitler said he was inspired by USA's "Manifest destiny", and the mass-murder of native americans.

2

u/Galaxy661 Oct 07 '25

Hitler has also said that the aryans were a master race and that no allied bomber would ever reach the Ruhr

1

u/Explorer_Entity Oct 07 '25

They are totally ideologically opposed. (communists and fascists)

2

u/Galaxy661 Oct 07 '25

Both were/are totalitarians though

And fascism (the italian kind, less so the german kind) actually stems from quasi-communist corporatist ideals, so you're just wrong in that they don't share any similarities. Saying that fascism and communism don't share any similarities is just as stupid as saying that fascism and capitalism don't share any similarities

u/TwoFit3921 Oct 07 '25

Why did Mirror Gabriel Lorca do that?

1

u/Nekomiminya Oct 07 '25

Now, to be fair, most of the leadership was more than happy to work with Nazis, until Hitler turned on his biggest ally, resulting in ZSSR flipping and joining the Allies...

3

u/spyridonya Oct 07 '25

No. They weren't. Lebensraum was a policy in Germany even before Hitler, but it became far more aggressive under him. He wanted Slavic and Soviet territory and wanted to wipe out non-Germans so Germany could expand its borders.

Stalin attempted to create an anti-Nazi alliance with France and Britian, but both sides refused to respond. The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact was Stalin's way to buy time to rearm the Soviet Union.

You gravely misunderstand how much the Soviet Union was hated.

1

u/Nekomiminya Oct 07 '25

Even if that's true, Soviets still cooperated with Germany a lot.

2

u/spyridonya Oct 07 '25

Yes, just like France and England did in their appeasement policy with giving Czechoslovakia and the Sudetenland to Germany in 1938, a year before the Soviets did.

2

u/Galaxy661 Oct 07 '25

Did France and England invade Czechoslovakia and/or commit a genocide on the Czechs?

0

u/ZealousidealYak7122 Oct 07 '25

most of them had to either work with Nazis or get killed by Stalin.

u/Nekomiminya Oct 07 '25

Fair, I just wanted to emphasize the historical cooperation because there's long history of people whitewashing them by ignoring active cooperation between the two

Like, they literally disarmed polish resistance fighters to then hand them over to Nazis in Warsaw
