a post about how many nazis remained in positions of power is made, the op is called a tankie and people defend the decision to keep nazis around
Good thing they defederated from Hexbear. Otherwise authoritarian misinformation and propaganda might have run wild on their trans friendly instance.
Their problem with “red fash” was never the “fash” part. Do not expect any resistance to fascisn from these people
“Yeah we should have just killed every German! That would show those dumb Nazis!”
Damn if only there was a middle ground between execution and funneling Nazi elite into your highest echelons of power
You know when you see a thread full of people excited to justify the post war nazi collaboration, and also at the same time seem to think that the US alone won WW2, and to top it off are frantically posting about the tankies… idk dude it just doesn’t feel great. I can’t believe how much nazi apologia I’ve seen creeping up the past couple years, but the past month still feels like a fever dream
I’ve said it before but I think a lot about what leftists were doing in Germany in the 1930s because it seems like we’re going to have to experience it ourselves
Remember your history, and hit twice as hard when your time comes
Fuck hitting things. If you don’t own a gun, not reading theory isn’t just a delightfully ironic meme, you actually need to sit tf down and learn some shit right now.
The sad fact is that Marxist-Leninism allows a buildup of nationalist and ethnonationalist sentiment within their states, even though the goal should be to unite the workers from all socialist states against the owning class.
What in the absolute fuck are these people on?
Oh right, v*ush
Literally the reason the USSR had a strong government over the Republics was to keep states like Georgia and Ukraine from becoming ethnonational fiefdoms, while sabotage and insurgency by the CIA stoked Nazism in Ukraine and all sorts of racial animosity in the Balkans, and we have seen the “fruit” of both efforts. The idea that the USSR was Russian supremacist is unhinged. Was there Russian chauvinism? Sure, but that is not the same thing.
To the current Russian state, the war in Ukraine is an attempt to rebuild the USSR under the banner of nationalism rather than socialism.
These are real posts, written by real libs.

Another despicable historical distortion going on in those comments is about the treaty of Versailles. American liberals like to go on about how it was so harsh that the rise of Nazism was a perfectly rational reaction. That’s not only historically highly dubious – it was much less harsh than most anything the German Empire did to the losers of its wars (see Brest-Litovsk) – but it’s also, like, only two degrees away from the stab-in-the-back myth (Dolchstoßlegende). That is to say: The Nazis liked to claim that the horrible economic state of the Republic was due to the “traitors” who gave up on WWI and signed the treaty, causing all of Germany’s economic problems (never mind the Great Depression). No one should be agreeing with the Nazis on any part of that idea.
