    What makes people freak out about molotov ribbentrop is the agreement to partition states.

    Made even “funnier” given that the Munich Agreement ALSO included a partition agreement: Germany got the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. Truly just hypocrisy to single out the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact like they do

          Can you imagine? “Stalin did a bad thing!” “Oh yeah? Here’s a list of the, idfk, probably half a billion people capitalism has directly murdered since it’s inception, and then we’ll start on the starvation deaths”.
