Don't be a condescending prick, comrade.
They're definitely misrepresenting the situation, like @ComradeSharkfucker explained, and I think it would be great if someone could make/share a FAQ so we wouldn't have to keep typing this by hand. But telling people to read a book some time is the arrogant crap that alienates us from the people we need on our side. More people are reading this than the person you replied to.
They are here in bad faith and treating them like someone here in good faith is civility fetishism. There are also already plenty of comments providing correction.
Be direct and honest with people.
We do not, in fact, need nazi sympathizers on our side. People who "Soviets were just as bad, if not worse, than the nazis" are deliberately downplaying the Holocaust in an attempt to "redpill normies."
They're lucky if all they get is "go read a book" from us. We're justified in lining them against a wall and shot.
