      How does one’s ideology make them better equipped at fighting fascism?

      If I decided to become a commie, would some divine god knowledge on fighting nazis be magically implanted into my brain?

      Yeah commies did a great job occupying countries they “freed” from the Nazis.

      If you want to replace one tyrant with another, the commies are good for that.

        The equipment made them better equipped, not the ideology, though it does help because of it’s accurate materialist understanding of history. The USSR had a massive industry that produced millions of bullets, artillery shells, and hundreds of tanks to fight the nazis. We don’t have a nation like that now to fight the nazis, the nazis today are the dominant superpower and it will be a tough fight. I agree though idk what the point of that comment was.

      Those same commies were very happy to cosy up to and ally with the Nazis until they got back stabbed.

        NATO was perfectly happy to hire all the “clean” naxos after WW2 as well, that’s why the Wehrmacht got sanitized.

          If you’re seriously trying to compare the other allies to the Nazis or USSR then you are insane.

            What’s up with the instant name calling?

            A lot of countries tried to not get into a fight with Hitler. You chose to highlight the USSR, but Mussolini was an ally and Franco’s Spain didn’t really have a problem with the bombing of Guernica. Countries like Romania and Finland fought with the nazis. Once invaded Denmark rolled over until 1943, and Sweden were so scaed that they let the nazis use Sweden to get to Norway. Half of France didn’t exactly voice their opposition, and the UK’s PM Chamberlain came of as a major wuss. After the war, when all the atrocities were already public, bunch of Nazis got off because they had usable knowledge, the same with the Japanese scientists.

            But let’s only talk about how the Soviets cozied up, and call people, who’re pointing out that there’s extremely few innocent combatants in a war, insane.

      Antifa, the shitty street militia funded by Stalin, got their asses kicked in Weimar and the people calling themselves “antifa” today are also losers funded by people who hate their country outright.
