Guess they can’t actually explain it after all.
Actually, communists executing the Nazis actually proves that they’re worse than the Nazis, actually
Ah, the Winston Churchill school of thought.
They automatically downvote Comrade Jackeroni, they’re living rent free in their heads
I don’t understand the meme. Is there an explanation?

not too familiar with the right side tbh
Right side means that soviets actually killed nazi criminals. Though iirc they were hanging them rather than shooting.

The war is over. I have already painted you as the sullen and grey imperialist, and myself as the glowing and unperturbed Kim Il-sung.
If you are referring to the DDR, I have to strongly disagree. That wall was designed to keep people in, not fascists out.
Didn’t the Soviet Union collapse like 33 years ago? I mean fuck I wasn’t even alive when it collapsed. I really don’t get the nostalgia posts. I fucking hate the 20th century and I want something better and new.
I think its important to point out that although not to the extent of the west at all the soviets were also far from perfect at purging instead of “strategically using” Nazis.
The difference being the Soviet-captured Nazis were forced at gunpoint to contribute to their R&D projects, being treated as prisoners before either being imprisoned or executed. NATO made its first supreme commander an SS member, put so many Nazis in the West German government that there were actually a higher percentage of them there than in the actual Third Reich, and let von Braun live a long and comfortable life as a free man.
As @DefinitelyNotAPhone@hexbear.net said, there’s a huge difference between selectively using Nazis for their knowledge on R&D while keeping them on a tight leash, imprisoning, and even executing them, and what the West did, which involved giving them cushy jobs, erasing their crimes, and putting them in the highest seats of leadership of organizations like NATO. The West loved the Nazis (still does), the Soviets hated them.
