SCRA pretty story and ideology

[Manticore]

The above quote is the crux of what you're saying. But if that were true, then why did Stalin side with the US and Britain against Hitler?

He didn't. He first sided with Hitler, then Hitler backstabbed him. Then the guys who were already at war with Hitler (democracies) chose Stalin as the lesser of 2 evils and sided with him. Although I wouldn't try to justify any sort of "logic" chosing Hitler or Stalin as examples. Cause they were like... you know... crazy.

Uh, right. As I said before, my point was to point out that communist leaders historically didn't have a problem with working with (or at least not openly attacking, which is more what the SCRA/Bret NAP is) countries that they didn't agree with ideologically. Because they weren't complete idiots and saw that sometimes not shooting everyone who you don't agree with can be smart.
