It is relevant in the fact it happened and played a part in history.
It is irrelevant what the ideologies were. This isn’t the first time opposed ideologies, which aren’t actually that oppositional it’s just in our scope they are, worked together. Actual diametrically opposed ideologies would be like an anarchist working with a totalitarian fascist.
But it didn’t happen in the way that you are implying it did. Nazi Germany and the USSR were never allies in the sense of working in lockstep toward shared interests. I mean, for god’s sake, watch the video that this thread is about; it’s not even a long video, there is no excuse for not watching it if you have to time to go back and forth with me. It shows in simplified steps the efforts the USSR made to ally with others against Nazi Germany and how they eventually had to do a non-aggression pact to buy time because others turned them away.

🙄 c’mon man it was a century ago. Why are you defending it?
It was an alliance. It was an agreement to overpower another country.
Did the Soviet Union invade Poland? Yes. Did they agree to do so while Germany did the same? Yes.
I could ask you the same in the other direction. Why are you insistent on slandering the USSR? “It was a century ago.”
Do you know about the Collective Security policy the USSR tried before the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact?
Did you watch the video?
Exactly. It was right there and is easy to look up.
