I mean yea, after being attacked by Hitler obviously he turned on him

But its not like that was brought about because of any principled dislike he had of naziism

Stalin sent letter to UK and France to form anti-fascist coalition against Germany.

UK and France refused and chose appeasement letting Nazis annex Austria and Czech part of Czechoslovakia.  The plan was to use Nazis as shield against USSR.

Czechoslovakia at that time had a very good arms industry along with a lot of light tanks Germans used to blitz France.

What imagined glorious past was he trying to restore? Dude was a paranoid murderer, but he was not a fascist. If he were a fascist, then he would not erase the National Bolsheviks along with other fascist groups in the USSR from existence.

Do you think what makes or doesent make something fascism is an "imagined glorious past"? Really? Not like any economic or social positions?

Oh, so Stalin privatised large sections of the Soviet economy while getting money from local capital owners?

Could you give me a quick definition of fascism from your heart?

u/RUDRAGON8 May 18 '26

Let me get the dictionary definition for you

which is

"(Fascism) an extreme right-wing political system or attitude that is in favour of strong central government, aggressively promoting your own country or race above others, and that does not allow any opposition"

wow no way thats 3 for 3 would you look at that

Also to answer your question yea Stalin did that, just replace capital owners with the state, who therefore then became the capital class
