@lucasqualls5086 - I am way late to this, but the soviets said they supported things while doing the opposite. It was hell in the Soviet Union for workers and they had slaves too in the gulags. I swear communists did the best PR job of all time convincing westerners they had some utopia in mind when they were every bit as brutal as the German system. The only difference is that Germans wanted to wipe out certain races while the Soviets wanted to wipe out people no matter their ethnic origin. Anyone who stood in the way basically. They also tried to paint the nazis as far right when they were very much a socialist origination. Basically? Everything which came out of the USSR was a lie, but some lies worked better than others. They needed to “other” the nazis to make themselves seem like moral heroes fighting for the people.

@lucasqualls5086 - I mean, millions of Ukrainians and other minorities died. They literally starved Ukrainians to death. Not exactly different than the nazis.

@lucasqualls5086 - They did ethnically cleanse minorities in the regions south of them. They also performed a genocide of Ukraine. They just didn’t have specific groups they wanted to get rid of, it was more of whatever Stalin’s paranoid mind came up with. So, I really don’t think they were any better than the Nazis. They also killed more people than the Nazis
