I know r/FULLCOMMUNISM is (usually) joking but I feel like there are some real misconceptions in the image, so let's discuss that.
still win the war on the side of the allies, and afterwards they say they still hate you
I feel like this entire image, and especially this line, paints the Soviet Union as a blameless victim of foreign aggression, which is quite false, to say the least. Regardless of whether or not you think they were right in their actions, the Soviets did many things that warranted foreign ire. For example, operating spy rings in Britain, the U.S., supporting underground parties/dissidents across Europe, and agreeing with the fucking Nazis to conquer Poland and execute 22,000 Polish military officers. Needless to say, the Allies had good reason to hate the Soviet Union. And yes, the Allied nations did similar shit to the Soviets, they weren't blameless either, but still, it's a huge stretch to paint the Soviets as victims of warrantless hatred.
other countries still refusing to trade, plotting to invade you, and start engaging you in a massive arms race against you and proxy wars all over the place
I think the trade part is mostly correct, though it's worth noting that NATO and Warsaw Pact countries did conduct low-key trade during the Cold War. But yes, economic blockades against the Soviets were a thing. The rest of that line, however, is pretty off-base. Obviously there was indeed a massive arms race and dozens of proxy wars, but let's not pretend like the West started it all. Both NATO/Western countries and Warsaw Pact/Soviet-aligned countries built up their weapons technologies and conducted proxy wars. And can you really blame the West for "engaging in a massive arms race"? If your enemy gets stronger, you try to match his strength so you can defend yourself - or attack, if needed. The Soviets engaged in this arms race too, and that's not inherently a bad thing...I don't get why the image is trying to say it's a bad thing. And as for the proxy wars part, the Soviets also conducted proxy wars against ideologically opposed nations, many of whom committed horrible atrocities, e.g. North Vietnam, North Korea, etc.
TLDR Poland, Finland, the Baltic countries, the Central Asian countries, eastern Europe in general, Mongolia, and plenty of other countries definitely wanted the Soviets to conquer them, USSR did nothing wrong, fuck you capitalist pigdog.
IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK ON COMMUNISM, PLEASE DO NOT THINK IT IS. I'M SOCIALIST MYSELF, I'M JUST NOT A FAN OF, Y'KNOW, BEING SENT TO A GULAG AND GETTING WORKED TO DEATH. FURTHER, THE WESTERN NATIONS ATTACKED IN THE IMAGE ABSOLUTELY ARE GUILTY OF MANY THINGS, I'M NOT DENYING THAT; ALL I'M SAYING IS THAT THE SOVIETS DID SOME BAD THINGS TOO
And I'm actually quite a fan of r/FULLCOMMUNISM, plz do not send to gulag.
Thank.
