>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.

The USSR was in the Axis, unofficially

Please explain why the fuck Britain or the US would be considered an enemy of the USSR before the Nazis?

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.

Seriously, it'd be as crazy as Capitalists and Communists teaming up. Or Monarchists and Republicans

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
