DerScheisser is a great meme sub if you just want to dunk on Wehraboos and Neonazis, but is still predominantly shitlib. It literally bans anyone who says anything positive about the USSR beyond "they killed Nazis". Really goes to show you that Liberals would go through the Weimar motions that put the Nazis in power in the first place again in a heartbeat so long as they stop the commies in the process.
EDIT: Late link.
no stop not that please
The sub bans all "Tankies" (ie. Actual Marxists) so the "accepted" view is that the USSR was a totalitarian hellhole only marginally better than the Nazis, and was bound to be one from the start.
I actually prefer that to the shitlibs that talk about a "right-wing coup" led by Lenin. :chompsky:

It would have gone differently, but not because of that. Germany was an advanced industrial nation. The USSR didn't choose to be a feudal backwater with all of "western civilization" immediately invading and trying to destroy them, and the fact that that happened is what shaped the entirety of their existence.
Not to mention, if the German Revolution had succeeded, the USSR would have been less “authoritarian” since they had more room to breathe
Especially because the luxembourgian faction of the KPD split from the rest of the party over supporting the USSR line and joined up with the USPD to form the SAPD who were democratic socialists.
