      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.
