But in reality it was AMERICA and Britain which opposed the Fascists. Liberal, “capitalistic” democracies. We are the ones who opened up a second front, enabling the Soviets to get their legs and push back. We are the ones who loaned them the money, and sent them the equipment, which kept them in the war. They are the ones who betrayed us when the war was over.
People forget that Hitler and Stalin signed a secret buddy pact. Stalin was a huge admirer of Hitler. He had a man crush on him. He refused to believe it when Hitler invaded, and ordered his troops to ignore what he was quite sure was a fake invasion. This cost the Soviet Union dearly, and it was based solely on Stalin trusting Hitler, who he regarded as a fellow, if you will pardon me using the term, Mensch. He thought they were two peas out of the same pod, both saving the world, albeit in slightly different ways.
They split up Poland. People remember–those who remember anything at all, which is a decreasing number–that Hitler invaded Poland. They forget that the Soviets, imitating the Nazis from the east, invaded at the same time. They did the same things. They executed political prisoners and stole peoples stuff.
The Nazis built many of their death camps in Poland, so they killed more people outright, but the Soviets committed the Katyn Woods massacre of the intelligentsia of Poland.
Who opposed both of these regimes? The people who marched behind American and British flags. The people who embodied everything all totalitarians hate.
It is a mark of our times that these imbeciles burn the American flag, and fly the Soviet one. We were the good guys. This is absolutely, categorically unambiguous, even if no doubt people who want one standard for their people, and another for everyone else, can truthfully point to places where we fell short of our ideals. Of course we did. All men fall short.
But the difference is that in America we always try to learn, and to do better. We allow criticism. For the Soviets, SUCCESS still meant mass death, and the abolition of all human rights, including the right not to be executed for saying something unfashionable.
We are breeding a generation of morbid creatures who know nothing, but consider themselves unique and misunderstood geniuses. It is an ugly sight to behold. This is how Communism started in the first place: emotionally detached eggheads with vast underground reservoirs of hate, violence, and intolerance.
