I've read it bit more into it, and it's understandable why Stalin sought to broker peace between the capitalist states and the socialist states after the war; eastern Europe was in ruins, the war had killed millions and had conscripted millions more from across the lands from roles needed to keep a society functioning.
After Germany capitulated and surrendered, the Stalin ordered the demobilization of the teachers, construction, trades, and other essential workers to begin restoration to the ruined lands and societies. Attempting to engage in an offensive war after the devastating anti-fascist war would have been unpopular and against the peoples will.
Yeah I don’t think an anti-capitalist war would have been successful or popular. And being MLs, we know that isn’t how it works. It’s one thing to defend your country from a fascist invasion and turn the tides to cut out the heart of it in Berlin, but another to wage war on the West in general.

The article sucks too, but not as bad as that tweet.
Why didn’t they just do this during WW2? Was an entire second world war really necessary?
