Ah, yes, the heroic KPD, the mouthpiece of the Soviets, definitely just trying to stop the mean ol' Nazis
Fucking astounding how far you'll go to sympathize with fascists. But hey, after Hitler, you, right?
The KPD weren't around when that was signed, on account of how Hitler murdered them. Because he correctly identified them as his chief ideological enemies.
As for the pact itself, it was signed after Stalin unsuccessfully attempted to form a unified front against Hitler with Britain and France. The latter two signed many agreements with Hitler, such as selling out Czechoslovakia, in the hope that he would stay focused on fighting the communists. Nobody was eager to get involved in a second world war.
Oh look, the tankie is back in this thread.
What can I say? I can't resist the siren call of people being wrong on the internet.
Curious, since their feuding with the SPD was instrumental in the rise of the Nazi Party, and that their puppetmasters cozied up to the Nazis at the first opportunity. Almost like it was just a power struggle with few actual ideological scruples involved.
It is curious. So curious, in fact, that your whole conspiracy collapses in the face of it.
It takes two to fued. Maybe the SPD should've tried not shoveling millions of people into a pointless war, or not killing KPD leaders who opposed it, or throwing their weight behind the only candidate who actually was neither Hitler or aligned with Hitler, or not saying the communists were just as bad as the fascists (you know, like you're doing now).
Curious indeed considering that through the mid-20s the SPD and the KPD got along fine, and it was only with the ascension of the Stalinists in the party and in the Soviet Union that the KPD suddenly decided that the SPD were 'social fascists' and had to be opposed at every opportunity.
But I understand history is inconvenient to your pro-fascist narratives. :)
If you consider being beaten into submission and having all their radical leadership slaughtered "getting along fine" then yes, I suppose they "got along fine" for a very brief period in between violently opposing them and calling them fascists.
Ah, the only leadership that counts as TRULY radical is Stalinist and anti-democratic. I see, I see. So, average red fash.
