Poland declined an alliance with Nazi Germany. Don’t be mad at me Stalin lacked the backbone to resist and instead joined in on a war of conquest. It happened, and while you might want pretend it didn’t, I respect myself too much to lie to myself like that. Enjoy your day.
And despite being already “moderately industrialized”, how did that work out for them?
Most of the USSR was not even 25 years distant from being an agrarian serf society. Without buying time they’d have been doomed when the Nazis invaded, and Germany would have won the war in Europe.
But you know that, or at least the people who fed you this line of bullshit know that. But conflating communism with Nazism still pays huge dividends for the assholes who actually rule the US and Europe.
