europe

with the destruction/dismantling of key industrial capacity and the resulting push of employment and production toward farming and rural labor, landholding and rural authority would have quickly became more important than urban/industrial bourgeois power, recreating over time feudal relations of production and obligation.

your point about the Polish border, meanwhile, reads honestly like nothing but a load of german chauvinist rubbish. the recovered territories were exactly that: recovered, as they had formed part of the traditional Polish homeland and medieval Polish state, and were only lost later during different periods over the centuries. Germany had never had any right to hold them! What effectively happened after the war was that Poland abjured any claims on the territories it itself had unjustly acquired in the Soviet-Polish war, while finally regaining what had been stolen from it centuries earlier. thus, both wrongs had been righted at the same time.

furthermore, as i've stated previously, all "german" territory west of the elbe/Labe/Łobjo was ancestrally Slavic land that the germans had occupied and subjected to forced germanisation. if anything, germany's post-war eastern borders were too lenient and, in my opinion, should not have included Lusatia, etc.

you bringing up germany getting split up into several pieces is just ridiculous! as stated in the beginning, morgenthau explicitly called for the establishment of a US high commissioner as the main political control body over the entire area! do you seriously believe that the fucking americans would have used their even greater control over central and western europe to carry out honest denazification?? hell, even if they'd for some reasen ended up doing it, american power is never a good thing for socialism or anti-imperialism anywhere! how do i get this into peoples' heads, ffs?!

also, it's somewhat funny how you decided to completely ignore my point about national minorities. ironically, you and the germans seem to be in the same boat on this one, lmao

finally, ill ask you again to please educate yourself on the soviet government's approach to the german question, as those people (unlike yanks like mogenthau) actually experienced the horrors of fascist occupation, as well as it just being better to read communists instead of some dipshit in washington.
