    Stalin oppressed the poles by restoring their borders to a state not seen since the early medieval ages and deported German settlers from the country. Ah but of course, the polish conquests of Belarusian, Lithuanian and ukrainian territory were “rightful polish clay” though right? These guys have no understanding of history whatsoever.

    Bonus points for equating the Holocaust with the holodomor and the great leap forward (?). No one denies that people died during the holodomor, the argument is that there isn’t any evidence it was an intentional genocide of ukranians. Nazis argue that literally no one died during the Holocaust, it was all fake, the camps, the mass graves, everything.

      Poland also took part in the partition of Czechoslovakia.

        A most idiotic move, even by the standard of prewar idiocy.

        Fun fact was that it was actually somewhat justified by the standard of the era, since that small part had actually a polish majority and were occupied by Czechoslovakian army after WW1 (probably for strategic reasons), but the pettiness of such revanchism was stunning and the timing was absolutely horrendous. And so, Poland become vulture for the nazi predator for basically no reason.

        Nowadays the issue is settled, there are mostly Czech people living there and not even the craziest nationalists in Poland mention it.

      deported German settlers from the country

      I remember getting into an argument with an antisocialist on Reddit years ago who said elsewhere that I was justifying ‘ethnic cleansing’. I was enraged reading that.

      Capitalists have always liked synchronizing class with ethnicity when possible, as we can see in Apartheid South Africa. It isn’t the decolonizers’ fault that it looks like an ethnic issue.

      holodomor

      Soviet famine (of 1932–3). ‘Holodomor’ is a dysphemism coined by Ukrainian ultranationalists.

      Nazis argue that literally no one died during the Holocaust

      Not exactly. Most of them prefer to argue that it was ‘only a few’ Jews who died and that they probably died by accident anyway.
