    I'm starting to think Stalin was too restrained in hist treatment of Nazis and that is a wild thing to think.

      This is a pretty uninformed take of mine but I feel like post WW2 USSR consistently underestimated how ruthless and barbaric the capitalist West could be.

        I agree 100%. It consistently seems like people who aren't part of the high level machinery of capitalism just cannot imagine how grotesquely violent and horrible Capitalists are. They keep underestimating how utterly ruthless and evil capitalists will be to scrape the slightest advantage.
