    Pfft, they’re all the same, no difference between them really, not like either is going to actually change anything, why bother to vote at all?

    The “Left” at this time, specifically in Russia, was purging the shit out of everyone, and committing the Holodomor.

    But the argument that both sides are the same is very clear: Hitler and Stalin were both very much aligned when it came to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, including the protocol for splitting Eastern Europe.

    Couldn’t be that much daylight between them? Both a bunch of warmongers, Stalin even invaded Finland 3 months after the war started.

      The SPD is German and the analogy was about voting in German politics enabling Hitler. What you’ve said is neither here nor there.

      I thought the next paragraphs would return to the subject at hand, but they didn’t. I would be happy to discuss Hitler and Stalin in a different thread. Feel free to start one. But it doesn’t address anything here.
