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.

YO! I know exactly what you tare talking about. I saw that same shit at some point (I think around the time it first aired), and it had honestly painted my understanding of the start of WWII badly. Especially because back then I didn't care about learning anything about the Soviet front as they were also always spoken about as being basically the same as the Nazis. WWII is always about the US "saving the day" when talking just about the war and not the genocide elements. I even have cringe memories of parroting the "Stalin and Hitler were best buds, and that Stalin basically only ever really trusted Hitler which fucked him up when Hitler turned on him" shit. Though it is personal cringe as I never got any push back or ever corrected, thankfully I don't think I really focused on it enough to bring up with many people. I am just glad that even one other person remembered seeing that shit to verify it being a real line of "educational material."
