dude what if fascists and communists, both of whom would fight the other till one group is extinct, like teamed up man? now, pass me that bong, i gotta tell the boys on Veeky Forums all about it!

>dude what if fascists and communists, both of whom would fight the other till one group is extinct, like teamed up man? To deal with a common enemy first? If Hitler was rational, this is what he would have done. Germany could never win a war on two fronts, so any hope of victory would involve taking out the British first before dealing with the USSR.
Jonathan White
The USSR was in the Axis, unofficially
Asher Anderson
Please explain why the fuck Britain or the US would be considered an enemy of the USSR before the Nazis?
Jason Edwards
Anti-imperialism is the core of Marxist-Leninist ideology. In Stalin's writings, the British empire is treated with particular venom, since it oppressed hundreds of millions via colonialism.
Before Germany invaded the USSR, the Comintern instructed Communist parties to oppose WW2 as an imperialist war, just like WW1.
Stalin was also pissed off at the British for refusing to ally against Germany, which is why he signed the M-R pact in the first place.
Before Barbarossa, Stalin was feeding Germany with resources because he wanted a counter-balance against the British, the #1 world power at the time.

Because the capitalist powers hated, HATED, that a nation broke free of their yolk and the power of capital. Capitalists cannot stand if the workers gain power so they do whatever they must to crush them. From the USSR, to Vietnam, to Cuba, to Chile, this has been the one truth of the last century.
Tyler Brooks
Seriously, it'd be as crazy as Capitalists and Communists teaming up. Or Monarchists and Republicans
Kevin Gomez
reasons why the soviets ade a deal with the captist democracys instead:
uk and usa didnt explicitly plan on depopulating and colonizing 2/3rds of their county
uk and usa actually treated treaties and agreements more than toilet paper, which means they never had to worry about getting stabbed in the back
germany was a less powerful country than england, by far. the uk ruled the seas, and was backed by half the colonies in the world, givingjer limitless resources. the german economy was relatively strong, but anglo R&D was streets ahead.
Eastern Europe and Germany were worth 10x as much as the indian subcontinent, why settle for a shitty consolation prize? Same reason italy joined entente
these are all the ones i thought off the top of my head

Your scenario also presupposes that the rest of the world would be happy to let both countries team up

Why would USSR hate British Empire more for """""opressing""""" milions instead of hating German EMPIRE for thinking of them as subhumans and wanting to genocide them?
Justin Cook
>he USSR, Germany, and Italy could easily coordinate No, no they couldn't.
The Germans couldn't coordinate jack shit with their allies unless they were directly telling them what to do. They didn't do "joint missions" well at all.
Elijah Miller
Seriously? They even fought against them in the Russian civil war.
>Seriously, it'd be as crazy as Capitalists and Communists teaming up. Or Monarchists and Republicans capitalists and communists 'teamed up' in the face of a common foe, they didnt like or trust each other and spent the latter half of the war preparing geopolitical power blocs in opposition to eachother.
there is also the fact that the allies didnt represent a threat to russia whereas the germans clearly did
Things went so far as Stalin making a serious offer to join the Axis, in return for concessions in the Balkans and other guarantees
Cooper Wright
Hitler wanted Stalin to invade India, but I think Stalin was afraid this was a trap. As soon as he moved the bulk of his forces south, Hitler could overrun the European part of the USSR.
Just goes to show you how unrealistic this alliance is.

You /gsg/fags make me sick. Real life isn't just a video game where you can click "improove relations" and get an alliance.
Isaac Ross
An alliance was impossible since Hitler would break it once he sees the chance. This isnt a video game
