    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.

            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?
