I'm not arguing that one or the other was less evil. I'm arguing against this bullshit tankie logic that the soviets and modern russia are in anyway good. That's the difference. Pug and other tankies act like the USSR was somehow better than nazi Germany and literal hitler

I don't know what kind of history you and the other user have, but nothing in their comments in this Threads indicates that to me. In fact YOU brought it up unprompted.

Yes you were.

Your first comment:

We should have let Hitler take over completely so that failed state wouldn't be what it is today.

Implying that Hitler would've meant the better outcome for the Soviet Union.

I was implying that if hitler had taken it over, we would have been able to denazify it like we did with Germany. Instead we got a ussr and russia that's high on their own egos attacking sovereign foreign nations.

Because they literally fucking were.

That's not high praise for the red fascist regime of Stalin which imprisoned and murdered millions under horrific conditions.

It's an acknowledgement that the Nazi ideology whose pure and highest purpose was industrialized genocide, not even as a means but as an end in and of itself, was uniquely horrific and damaging.

The fuck they were. Both killed millions, both tried genocide on groups of people. One had concentration camps. The other had gulags...

Both were shit .... period

One had concentration camps. The other had gulags…

Yes, one had labor camps in which many people died in horrific conditions.

The other had death camps in which those who weren't worked to death were systemically murdered by firing squads and gas chambers.

Both are shit. Both are horrific atrocities. Yet there is still a difference.
