    It’s been my experience that liberals cannot genuinely fathom the concept that “tankie red fash stalin” was the one who killed hitler. That’s a major contradiction that can only be resolved by them admitting they only side against communism because they ultimately side with nazis.

    Which is obviously the point i’m trying to make when I bring that up, but they never want to hear it.

      I thought the usual lib spin was something to the effect of “Stalin and Hitler started out as allies because muh Molotov-Ribbontrop, but then they started to compete because they’re power hungry totalitarians”.

        Nah that’s too sane, the usual response is communism = fascism therefore stalin = fascism therefore you’re an authoritarian tankie
