"Temporarily puts aside differences"? The only think keeping the capitalists from shooting at the communists was being on opposite sides of Germany. They were both maneouvering politically before, during and after. Sometimes the different types of marxists DID shoot at each other. The left is nothing if not consistent on that front. The capitalists meanwhile were so anxious about communists in Western Europe that you're arbitrarily right just because they refused to intervene in Spain and Portugal and somehow declared they had defeated fascism while leaving both under fascist dictatorships until the 1970s while they smoothly rolled into the Cold War and proceeded to do the same to a bunch of other countries.
Bit rose tinted, that.
This is tankie cope ^
You should know I cherish every time somebody thinks I'm far left online. It's the only think that keeps my family and friends from roasting me as a filthy capitalist liberal when I vote for milquetoast social democrats. It's super important for my social standing.
