Look I read the entire book Trading With The Enemy and I understand there was no such thing as Nazi-Soviet collaboration, but the comment won't load fully. I can't see the sign

Wow, I was not actually aware of this.

Certainly in history class in the UK I got taught about the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and NOTHING ELSE. I've already since learned (from here,) that the USSR wanted an anti-fascist alliance which western powers rejected. After more research now, I didn't realise quite to what effort all of Europe was going to to actually sign pacts with Nazi Germany.

All that conspiring to ally with the Nazis, suppress the USSR's anti-fascism, and to isolate them entirely. Situation blows up in their face, the USSR then, almost single-handedly, saves the western world and wins the war with Germany.

To then, half a century later, be like soypoint-2 HOW DARE THE USSR SPEAK TO THE NAZIS THIS PROVES THEY'RE JUST AS BAD is even greater hypocrisy than I thought. We didn't just force them into it, we were already doing it ourselves years earlier.

The capitalists wanted to use hitler as an attack dog against the soviet union. They were fine with what he was doing so long as the attack would go eastward. Winston Churchill made his opinions of fascists very clear to the italian fascists:

"If I had been an Italian, I am sure I should have been whole-heartedly with you from start to finish in your triumphant struggle against the bestial appetites and passions of Leninism".

It was actually the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact that forced the west into siding with the Soviets, this pact made them realise Hitler was going to go west before going east. It forced the UK and France onto the side of the Soviets and it bought the Soviets crucial time to move their industries which were all very close to the border of Poland, they moved all of them up into the mountains. The Soviets may have been able to win at that time still but feared these industries were very vulnerable.

Plus they were already at war with fascist Japan at the time. The pact was so the Soviet Union didn't have to fight a two-front war against fascists in their European and Asian borders at the same time. The Soviet Union would then go on to sign a similar non-aggression pact with fascist Japan right before fascist Germany invaded the Soviet Union. And once fascist Germany was defeated, the Soviet Union would then violate their non-aggression pact with fascist Japan by invading Manchuria.

Ahh, English people imagining "Leninism" to be some horrifying dangerous Thing. A problem from the Great Patriotic War that still happens today.

the funniest tidbit is that poland annexed parts of czechoslovvakia in 1938 with germany, before its own partition. then they are whining about soviets

[–] CascadeOfLight@hexbear.net 44 points 4 days ago

AND the parts of Poland marked as the USSR's sphere of influence in the M-R pact... Poland stole from the USSR in 1921!

Those areas were taken from (and returned to) the Belarussian and Ukrainian SSRs, so you can also ask libs when Ukraine is going to be returning its occupied Polish land to the 'rightful' owners.

My chud coworker tried to gotcha me with "the Soviets trained nazi pilots!" or some nonsense and then it turns out they had a training program with weimar Germany

Americans aren't great with geography, math, science, or the progression of time

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 13 points 4 days ago

And the funniest part is that Germans were training Soviet pilots too. It was more of an experience exchange program.

[–] Kumikommunism@hexbear.net 12 points 4 days ago

And the only reason the US isn't on this list like 5 times is because of the distance. It had the same policies.

The coming American revolution will require the most comprehensive reeducation program in human history

[–] sangeteria@lemmy.ml 47 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And the trouble is that the US is so adept at anti-communist thought that they have like 50 different (shitty) angles that each require their own deconstruction

[–] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Each of the 50 states has its own spin on the Red Scare... this'll be complicated.

I'll do my part. My favorite things are cooking and teaching.

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago

Before they go into the re-education camps, they'll need regular education camps first.

[–] robotElder2@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago

I don't like everything about the cultural revolution but I like the way they did it a lot better than the way we don't do it.

bluesky libs are something else. The comrades that stayed on twitter are just build different but the bsky libs just retreated further into an insular space. They have the thinnest skin.

This person calls themselves 'Vienna socialist'.

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 43 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Vienna (/viˈɛnə/ ⓘ vee-EN-ə;[8][9] German: Wien [viːn] ⓘ; Austro-Bavarian: Wean [veɐ̯n]) is the capital, most populous city, and one of the nine states of Austria.

Vienna was one of main dens of socialchauvinism ever since WW1, succdems love to cite it as example of successful socialdemocracy when in reality it was only successful in countering communists and sucking up to nazis and neonazis (which tbf is a purpose of socialdemocracy, so you can say it really was successful)

[–] ObamnaSoda@hexbear.net 54 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Do they know what people in the Baltics did with the approval of Hitler?

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 30 points 4 days ago

Even before the Nazis invaded, they were being ruled by fascist strongmen. (Although tbf, the Soviets were motivated by the strategic importance of gaining the Baltic ports, national interests were still a factor).

[–] BimboChristmas@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago

Absolutely shocking differences in survival rates between areas occupied by the Soviets (Estonia) vs areas not (Lithuania and Latvia). Like Estonia always had a much smaller Jewish population, but they were also the only ones with a good route to flee East before the killing started.

I like calling the US fascist, because it is

[–] Castor_Troy@hexbear.net 15 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I still see chuds posting about the US being a communist country.

[–] YOuLibsWoulD@hexbear.net 15 points 4 days ago

I much prefer real examples of revolution, like CHAZ

[–] mortemtyrannis@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Several people I know are hysterical that China will take advantage of the chaos in the Middle East and invade Taiwan while the US has committed resources and my response is always; why?

Why would China even bother taking a risk when it’s obvious to anyone paying attention the US is collapsing and all China has to do is wait them out.

They are just running the clock down at this point.
