Stalin made a military alliance with the Nazis, they invaded Poland together.
Sure, after they betrayed him, he started fighting back. But he was 100% on Team Nazi initially. He loved Nazis. He actually liked the Nazis so much that he sold out a lot of the German communists to be killed by Hitler, because he didn’t vibe with the German communists. They weren’t authoritarian, they kept doing their own thing which isn’t a Stalin permissible activity, and so he collaborated with Hitler to have them killed. He also killed a bunch of German communists who fled from the Nazis to the Soviet Union.
I am to this day baffled by internet “leftists” who want to say good things about the USSR. I bring this example up to them, and they generally just deny that any of that is true. Regardless, if they’d lived in Soviet times, they would have either been working the prisons because of their reverence for “communism” in its USSR i.e. very very un communist form, or housed in them. I just don’t fucking get it.

Appreciated.
Fuck Stalin, and every fake-ass “leftist” that evokes his name as something positive.
