Why would the Communists want to ally with the most rabid and violent anticommunists on the planet?
First of all because they did (facts). Second of all, because they weren’t true communists and just established a dictatorship based on propagated communism.
First of all, they did not (facts), they signed a non-aggression pact to bide their time while the West refused to ally against the Nazis, hoping that the Nazis and USSR destroyed each other.
Second of all, the Soviets were true Communists and established a Dictatorship of the Proletariat as is in line with Marxism.
Please read theory before you cosplay as an expert in what is and isn't "true" Communism, it's painfully clear that the furthest you've gotten is Wikipedia.
rEaD tHeOry!
Because that's all it is, and that's the only thing people like you have. Nothing real, only rEaD tHe tHeroRy!
reading to a liberal is like garlic to a vampire
Imaginary history is like candy to you people
the only thing imaginary here is your historical knowledge
Genuinely, what on Earth are you trying to say here? The other user was trying to say that the Soviets weren't "true Communists," which is wrong. It displays an utter lack of understanding what Socialism and Communism even are in the first place. Why speak so confidently on something they don't know about?
Are you trying to say that the Soviets didn't exist or something?
"Read theory" means "learn what the words you are using actually mean so you can analyze historical events, movements, and structures accurately."
Don't be allergic to reading.
Lmao.
Whatever you say armchair communist
You should read sometime too, you might learn something.
ThE tHeOrY, right? Lmao
Anything at this point. Theory would be nice, but even some good fiction like Piranesi would do you well.
Genuinely answer me this: if someone says something wrong, and they adamantly stick to their position in the face of evidence, and you know that reading a few pamphlets and maybe a book or two would help with clearing up this confusion, what do you recommend they do?
And what on Earth is an "imaginary government?"
dude would rather die than read a book... classic lib
