Oh, yes, of course. The real cause of World War II wasn’t the Imperial bourgeoisie colonizing Manchuria in 1931 for the survival and expansion of Japanese capital, or the Fascist bourgeoisie starting a colonial war on Ethiopia in 1935 for similar reasons, or the Marco Polo Bridge incident of 1937, or the European ruling classes partitioning Czechoslovakia in 1938, or even Axis forces striking Pearl Harbor in 1941. No, not even close.
The real cause of it all was that Joseph Stalin just got out of bed one day in 1939, decided that he had nothing better to do, and—without the input of anybody else—immediately “allied” with the Third Reich and went into Poland to fuck it up for the lulz.
Why on Earth are these people in a ‘history’ subcommunity when they are so obviously uninterested in the subject?
