Late Stage Capitalism
A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

You always know you're about to read something completely wrong stated with maximum confidence when a post starts with this obnoxious redditism.
Wow, even stupider than I expected
This is the dumbest thing I’ve read in a while. The Soviet Union would have been steamrolled if it hadn’t made a pact to stall for time to industrialize & militarize before the inevitable Nazi assault.
The difference is that they only used their labor; they didn’t promote them to leadership positions throughout the Eastern Bloc.
Are you talking about operation paperclip?
Yes, literally the exact same thing as the Americans and a few other powers did. Along with hiding Japanese war criminals on exchange for their worthless data in torture.

What would have happened if he hadn't signed the pact?
Just say nothing. Hitler legally cannot invade if you don't sign a non-aggression pact with him.
