    It doesn’t make sense to universalize that moment into some kind of lesson about liberalism and fascism though. And the USSR only joined the war when attacked after havjng conspired to split Poland with fascist Germany.

      Liberals always seem to be the first to ally with fascists against the left.

      This was my original claim, which I really meant to apply to fascists taking over within a society: it seems to be universally true that when this occurs it’s because the liberal governments acquiesce to fascist creep because they’re seen as a useful tool against the left.

      I did enjoy discussing the wider context of this, but it’s not really what I meant; I was emphasizing the first in the sentence.
