    Meme about collaboration with fascists

    Mentions the whole “allied with Hitler” phase communists had

    BRO WHAT IS YOUR DEAL, WHADDABOUDISM

    If you are genuinely curious, pointing out the abject hypocrisy with one picture and watching the subsequent morally+intellectually bankrupt shapes people twist themselves into to defend a literal alliance with Adolf Hitler is its own reward. It’s like how mentioning Trump’s friendship with Epstein to redcaps gets them frothing at the mouth with wild excuses to defend their team.

      It was not a literal alliance it was a non-aggression pact. You can go read it yourself.

        A month after invading Poland together, Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia signed the “Nazi–Soviet Boundary and Friendship Treaty”.

          They did not. Germany invaded Poland and poland capitulated and the government went into exile. Then, the Soviets entered the former Polish territory to prevent it getting into the hands of the Germans.

          Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia signed the “Nazi–Soviet Boundary and Friendship Treaty”.

          Having “friendship” in the name is not an alliance either.

            Oh shit! Soviet Russia didn’t aid Hitler in a premeditated war of conquest against Poland? The Soviets and Nazis “didn’t” make agreements on how to divvy up Europe between them?

            Yeah, Stalin waited two weeks to invade Poland, he’s a SAINT!

              No they literally did not. The molotov-ribbentrop pact is declassified you can go and read it. It said nothing about a joint invasion.

                Thank you for the explanation, here I was thinking Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia coincidentally co-invaded Poland by happenstance.

                  Invasions take months of planning. The Nazis were planning on invading not the soviets. The molotov-ribbentrop pact was signed 2 weeks before the Nazis invaded and signed 1 week before by the supreme Soviet.

                  Of course I’m sure you would’ve rather all of Poland go to the Nazis when they capitulated.

                    So the Soviets didn’t sign a treaty with Hitler to split Poland between them?

                    Here I was thinking signing an alliance with Adolf Hitler to invade a country together was something vile enough anyone could easilly condemn, thanks for correcting me!
