The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and a History of False Equivalence
🕑 Added 2022-12-08 17:05:41 +0000 UTCIn this latest episode of our ongoing series 'A Marxist History of World War 2' I examine the Nazi-Soviet non-aggression pact of 1939. The bourgeois historians routinely portray this as the "twin evils" of the 20th century coming together to divide Europe up between them. The reality is a tale that is more about repeated Soviet attempts to secure an alliance against the Nazis only to run into the reality of the British imperialists wanting to see a Nazi attack on the USSR.
Outro music is the Polish socialist song 'Warszawanka
