This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

In Polish high schools they seriously teach that Soviets were in the alliance with III Reich and that Stalin supposedly admired Hitler (if I recall correctly skimming through my sister's book).

It goes deeper - they basically accuse the USSR of co-starting the World War II and other disgusting lies making communists look as bad or even worse than Nazis. It is formally approved as a school material and many if not most people unironically believe that the USSR was genocidal red-fascists empire.

Since propagating communism is illegal here, bookstores don't print almost any good literature that would counter the state propaganda and the country exists in a capitalist fantasy bubble.

I was lucky enough to never trust educational system, but people who did are basically brain damaged now.

Sorry for chaotic style but I'm sleep deprived and I wanted to share this atrocity while I remember, I may share some more information tomorrow.

The US based "history channel" has a big WW2 documentary that says Stalin was buddy buddy with Hitler until Hitler attacked the USSR and Stalin was taken by surprise. I believed it for years until I de-liberalled myself and learned real fucking history. The west is fucked.

I guess when USSR and Reich supported opposite sides during Spanish civil war it was a clear sign of friendship or something.

That was just some socialist infighting. (just like the camps, or something IDK)

I don't recall this ever being mentioned in educational materials. I do recall my history schoolbook talking about Molotov-Ribbentrop "pact", but never anything else. Not the Spanish civil war and who supported who there, not the many agreements between European countries and Nazis, nothing. IIRC it mentioned a "joint parade" between USSR and Nazis in Poland, though

TFW even my somewhat lib history teacher told us that Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was to buy time to prepare for war.

That was the common understanding in the 2000s as far as I can recall.
