I've heard that plenty. I've never seen someone exclude the Soviets from the Allies. There's the perfectly good "Western Allies" they could use too if they wanted to exclude the Soviets and Chinese.
Isn't that kinda somewhat true though? The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact was a pact to split Poland and also a non aggression pact so Hitler could focus on the western front and Stalin had time to build up an army and economy. The pact was broken by Hitler invading the USSR. They were never allied but they had a pact which Germany broke.
I think they’re trying to say that the allies as a collective defeated fascism, not just the USSR, even though only one side of the allies funneled a bunch of Nazi and Japanese war criminals to the sphere to continue their cartoonishly evil agendas.
No they ain't. R/ecs lobotomties believe the dumbest horseshit anyone saw in a fever dream of it makes the commies look bad and the sky might well be green if raising their head indicates the commies have done a single good deed ever.
Hahaha they really have to actively be looking to get offended by anything a communist or simply someone with an accurate understanding of history says. That person didn't even deny that allies contributed, they're just stating the fact that the USSR liberated most of Nazi occupied Europe and defeated fascism. That's not controversial, pick something else to get irrationally angry about.
tfw u build schools, apartments and hospitals that are still standing to this day despite lack of maintenance, have pretty progressive laws for the time, massively improve living standards only for some dumbass on the internet to compare you to the Nazis.
Look, the PRL had a lot of issues (polish comrades know this damn well), but holy fucking shit man you cannot compare it to German-occupied Poland, where there were Ghettos everywhere and fucking concentration camps (Sobibor, Treblinka, Auschwitz, etc.).
Just like Parenti said, where were the half-starved masses when socialism fell? Where were the countless political prisoners we were told about?
I do think lend lease was quite important to the Soviet victory (probably inevitable without it but it saved a shit ton of lives with food delivery which is very good and should be acknowledged and lauded) however it was up to the Soviets to effectively use said supplies so it's still not the argumentative coup these NATO brains think it is.
Lend lease was something around 4% of total Soviet war materials used, it only started to arrive in noticeable amounts in 1943, and a lot of arms send were more or less obsolete crap like the M3 Lee tanks or Airacobra fighters. It did have some effects like large number of US trucks freed some Soviet manufacturing to produce something else or when abovementioned obsolete crap was issued to second line troops allowing for more concentration of good equipment, but overall it was FAR from the importance murican propaganda makes you believe it had.
The top minds of Reddit on r/EnoughCommieSpam have weighed in. Truly a rebellious subreddit of brave soldiers speaking out against Mr.Xi and the Putinazis for the U.S State Department.
"One common trope I’ve seen is that if you give all the credit to the Soviets, rarely does anyone reply. If you give all the credit to the U.S. you’ll have multiple paragraphs of people telling us how worthless we were." - reddit OP
"Why does my decades of propaganda ensure that no one believes that the Soviets did all the lifting, while typical liberals give me FACTS that show us how WORTHLESS we are. Truly this must be because of the communists"
