But the Russians in WW2 were the soviets, and the Canadians gave two standing ovations to that old Nazi for fighting them. Oh, wait, I'm trying to use logic with libs...and Canadians. Never mind, forget I said anything.
Indeed, but if you're a proper communist, you really hate the Russians, because they failed communism.
It doesn't matter that the nation was starving and bankrupt. Any true communist ideologue will just keep purging dissidents until all of the problems are solved.

They all have theories about how they would do it differently and they would succeed where the USSR did not. Monday Morning Quarterbacks.
Next time you hear it, throw the wrench in the works. "What if they don't want to give you their personal property?" "What if they don't want to meet their quota?" "What if they don't turn over their complete harvest?" The only honest answers a true communist could possibly give are gulag, gulag, and gulag.

Why? Because the regime is waging a war on the Russians right now. So they'll say "Russians" rather than "Soviets". If they were fighting China, I'm sure they'd have phrased it in such a way to connect it to that - e.g. he fought "the communists".
