      This ignores the fact that the USSR was perfectly happy to divvy up Eastern Europe between themselves and the Third Reich, right up until Ze Germans backstabbed them.

        Yeah man the people who stopped the Holocaust are the same as the people who did it.

        Nuclear levels of enlightened centrism

            Ah, ye olde classic double Holocaust narrative. Cooked up by the “this Hitler guy isn’t so bad” Hearst press, popularized by the people who nuked Japan and starved India, and debunked ten ways til Sunday by the opening of the Soviet’s own archives. Everyone who ever grew up in the imperial bubble has heard the myth, and everyone who ever looked into it has seen it for the water-muddying work of western projection that it is.

            Got anything real? Like, something that doesn’t come from the same rich childfuckers who claim Iran killed 200,000 protestors and Hamas beheaded babies? Or do you still believe they’ll find Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction any day now?
