        The only people that know what it is who are anticommunists. The rest don't have a clue.

            Liberals of all kinds, even those who are not well-read, believe that Nazism and communism are the same.

                I love this quote. What’s even worse though is being technically literate but still so fervently anti-communist that you refuse to even look at Marxist texts. Or, if you do look at them, they just look like gibberish. This is what happened to me when I attempted to read The Communist Manifesto and Capital as a liberal teenager. I got nowhere.

          Ehh you usually do, the much better arguments are:

          1. A ton of other countries had non-aggression pacts with the Nazis
          2. The Soviets signed theirs after Britain and France shot down an anti-Nazi pact (which would be an example of a pact between allies)
          3. Your allies don't launch a genocidal invasion of you

            Not to actually The Soviets and Britain + France were not actual political allies, only really allies in that they eventually fought the same country for a very brief period of time. In the case of France they were never at war with the Nazis simultaneously as the Soviets

        Always ask them if they know what is a Czechoslovakia, what happened to it in 1938 and who were the people shaking hands nodding in agreement and then finally happily cheering after it happened.

      Meanwhile Ukrainian Father of the Nation was not only allied to the Nazis, he helped them with the Holocaust and got sent to a concentration camp as a reward.
