    You can say that, but …

    TLDR: “Stalin compromised with fascists, but yadayada.”

      More like TLDR: Liberals compromised with fascist even when they could have stopped them, the Soviets compromised only as long as they had no other choice.

        the Soviets compromised

        Correct. Stalin compromised with fascists.

        they had no other choice.

        They could have chosen to not compromise with fascists from 1939-1941

        the Soviets compromised only as long as they had no other choice.

        They compromised until they had no other choice, because the Nazis invaded.

        They could have chosen to not compromise from 1939-1941. You know, like liberal democracy Britain.

        TLDR: Don’t compromise with fascists.
