      So did the warsaw packt and russia today even has them lead armys again. Your point?

      While not fully denazifying west germany didnt hide their identities and they were out right critisised. Especially when a former office nazi got elected chanclor (Kurt Kissinger). He even got hit and boohed in public. Behind the iron curtain they outright hid the nazis. Hired SS and Gestapo for the Stasi (unlike the west).

      I am comparing it because i know thats where you are going with your argument

        While the Warhaw pact did have their own limited project paperclip it is a fact it was the west that fully incorporated the nazis into their regime.
        The point being they both were anti-communist.
        The west also helped escape 1000’s of the worst SS nazi warcriminals (ukranians) and relocated them to Canada.
        What was their use?
        There is zero equivalence and you can’t find more than some cherrypicked examples.
        To the Russians some could be used but were their enemies, unlike the west where they had plenty of fascist sympathisers in Europe or N America.

        “and russia today even has them lead armys again”

        LOL is that your claim? Let me say it for you, Ill cherrypick Dimitry Utkin for you bcs because i know where you are going with your argument. A guy from a private militia who is in no way part of the Russian army, as events later made abundantly clear.
        You can find individual nazis in almost every country.
        Guess who those Russian nazis are fighting for?
        https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/03/04/russian-neo-nazi-hooligan-who-led-anti-putin-militia-across/

        Ukraine has multible openly fascist batalions like Azov, Sich, Tornado and plenty more.
        Where WW2 warcriminals are honored, etc…

        And let’s not forget how the west now whitewashes the horrible Navalny, who organised the Russian marches before they were forbidden, a racist making videos of him shooting muslims that he called cockroaches.
        A disgusting criminal sold by the west as some brave hero fighting for democracy.
        As riculous as saying Azov are totally not nazis anymore bcs they changed their logo.
        If only Hitler would’ve done something to his swastika, he could’ve been a brave anti-commie fighter hero.

        You haven’t got a leg to stand on.

      Don’t care, I’d rather live under the neolib European governments any day than a fascist Russian shithole. It’s not even a difficult choice. It’s not like there’s some leftist utopia as an alternative. The neolibs don’t murder gay people and don’t decriminalize violence against women as a state policy.

      Without NATO, we’re going back into the age of territorial conquests and nationalist revenge campaigns. Russia and China aren’t the only countries where this crap is normalized (see Hungary - lot of my fellow Hungarians thinks Slovaks are just Hungarians forced to take up a Slavic language, and in reality they’re just a lost tribe of Magyars called “the Tóths”).

          Name one agressive expansion of territory by nato.

          And no. The former occupied eastern europe countrys joining nato is not military expansion. They wanted to join and are still indipendent in everything they do

            What do you consider 'expansion of territory '?
            That is an outdated concept.
            The US has used NATO to attack and control other countries without ‘expansion’. That would be to obvious colonialism. They “intervene” (mass murder and destroy the brow people countries) then install their puppet like in Afghanistan.
            They use more sneaky regime change tactics in Europe.
            Ukraine was a good example, with the Nuland-Pyatt call telling them who should be president. (And “fuck the EU” OC)
            in Georgia they sure tried but failed.
            They are ‘bodybags’ combined with NATO weapons as Soros said in '93 explaining how NATO could destroy Russia (so peaceful). And no, there is no context.
            But if they have to they blatantly bomb cities and an embassy like Yugoslavia.
            The US blew up our Nordstream pipeline forcing us to buy their expensive gas and destroying our economy.
            Not one peep from our bootlicking EU leaders.
            That sure sounds like we’re independent.
            And now the poodles complain they don’t get respect? LOL

      NATO is liberal and that comes with all of the problems of liberals but in what ways has it functioned as a fascist organisation?

          This is another example of Schrödinger’s NATO, where actions perpetrated by the USA is blamed on the entire organisation, yet NATO is a symbol of Western imperialism.

          Which is it? If all of NATO but the USA want one thing, and the USA overthrows your government, is it NATO’s fault or rather the USA’s? Are tankies blaming Iraq on NATO too?

            " if all of NATO but the USA want one thing"

            What are you talking about.
            NATO IS the USA, they decide and nobody else.
            The vasals will pay for it, provide assistance and get to take care of the millions of refugees caused by it while the US plunders the poor victim of the day’s oil and resources.
            If you don’t get that then it’s hopeless.

              If that were so all of NATO would have joined and supported the gulf wars and Afghanistan, which didnt happen. If that were also the case, the USA and Soviet empire wouldnt have stood against britain and france (both NATO members) in the suez crisis

      Had to protect the surplus profits of Capitalism at all costs. A century of wealth needed to be consolidated in the hands of the ubermensch. You know, Mohammed Bin Salmen and Amancio Ortega and Elon Musk.
