    I think you might be talking about “nazbols” there? People who hear western propaganda about Stalin being “as bad as Hitler” and decide that makes the USSR totally awesome because of all the oppression, and supporting this false, cartoon villain version of a union of nations.

      I thought nazbols were communists that liked the “persecution of minorities” bit of Nazism, but we’re otherwise commies in their politics. Maybe? I don’t think these types have a solid theoretical foundation anyhow
