Can we please rise above the shitty server wars? There's bad actors on all servers.
There are, but .world has a much higher percentage of Zionists and otherwise fascist users. That's generally what happens when you defederate from Marxist instances and punch anyone left of liberals, right wingers find it safer there.
Of course, MLs are notoriously hostile towards Nazis, right? Definitely didn't spend almost a decade cooperating with the Nazi War Machine and then signing a non-aggression pact to genocide the Polish people together, with all of the good MLs in other countries following the party line.
Oh, it's the resident ultra-liberal, somehow too leftist for Marxism yet always capable of seeing nuance within liberalism. Funny how that happens.
Either way, the USSR didn't cooperate with the Nazis. After the Polish government fled Poland to Romania from Nazi invasion, the USSR took back land they lost in the 20s during the Polish-Soviet War, to prevent the Nazis from taking it. Do you genuinely think the correct thing would have been for the Soviets to let Poland be taken completely by the Nazis?
Did the fact that the vast majority of Nazi deaths in WWII came from the USSR happen because they were such good friends?
You don't have to like the USSR, there were numerous issues with it, but pretending that they were friends to fascists is just pure Red Scare anticommunism. I do think it's in line with your other anti-Marxist takes, like your disapproval of the Black Panther Party.
