I can’t remember where, but I have heard the Stalin-Hitler anti-liberal alliance myth before. I think I saw it in a series of books that broke down WWII in various volumes, from the 90s. It was in my middle school library years ago. Part of the narrative was that Stalin had plenty of warning about Hitler’s invasion, but refused to properly mobilize defenses because he was convinced the Allies would side with the Nazis against the USSR. They also mentioned how the Soviets trained Nazi soldiers in the 30s and had streets named after Hitler once the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was signed.
No idea how accurate any of that was.
Oklahoma has some kind of Cold War era law that outlaws “parties that want to overthrow the government”, and is under the stranglehold of the Republican Party. If there was a large enough ML presence here to push for it on the ballot, we’d probably be used by the MAGA zealots to justify even more unconstitutional actions than what we already have going on. It’s nuts here.
I wish I could vote for them :/
I agree. When the Russian intervention began and Western media did a huge crackdown on the truth, the only people I saw allowed to tell the Russian side on mainstream were MAGA crackpots who looked crazy doing it. Can’t say there’s no censorship, because the narrative is allowed on mainstream media, but presented from the side progressives hate and distrust the most. It’s an insidious kind of manipulation.
