It must not be understated how much WW2 was sold to the people of Germany as a war against, principally, the tyrannical Soviet Union - against who the Third Reich, while carrying out the Holocaust, manufactured stories of supposed atrocities, attempted to accuse of genocide, and whatever else. It was sold, principally, on the anticommunism agreeable to fascists, conservatives, liberals, social-democrats, anarchists, trotskyists, and whichever other segments of Germany's vibrant prewar leftist mileu would offer their condemnations of the USSR as just as bad as the Nazi state, really - that was the line by which they sold the genocide.

It's so funny how the meaning of "tankie" has kept expanding to encompass those who previously used it. Like at first it was very specifically used by British Trots to refer to communists that supported the Soviet Suppression of the 1956 Hungarian Uprising (because you know, they supported sending in the Tanks). But later on various "Libertarian" Leftists used it as a general pejorative for any perceived "Authoritarians", which usually includes Trots. Now you see fucking Liberals using it to mean any "Leftist" they see as too violent or radical; like it wasn't that long ago I saw someone referring to an Anarchist as "Tankie". Like how long until it enters the political mainstream? I can't wait to hear Joe Biden supporters call anyone who opposes his genocide a Tankie
it was said before but i don't think the majority of usamericans understands that all those billions their government sends to finance foreign wars aren't theirs either. it's looted imperialism money.

A poster from the 1918-1920 flu pandemic in Japan shows germs infecting the air around a maskless man on a train. The text reads: 'Underestimated flu bacteria! Not wearing a mask is reckless!' (Public domain)
