    what, you mean that capitalist companies trading with Nazis is different from the state itself actively collaborating with those same Nazis? crazy idea. Almost like there's a difference between the actions of individuals and the actions of a country.

    I'm sure the Polish will be glad to hear that the Nazis didn't collaborate with the Soviet Union while being invaded on both fronts.

    Ah yes, if someone's punching you in the face and I decide to stab you in the back after telling the other guy that we're cool and we'll divide up everything you own, that's not collaboration. We just happen to have the same goals and decide to do the same thing that helps each other and ourselves after agreeing to do so.
