As some other people have pointed out, Poland was briefly at war with the USSR during WW2 because the USSR made a deal with the Nazis to divide the country. Finland was allied with the Nazis for a time out of desperation; it’s debated if they were considered an axis power. And groups from the Baltic countries, seized by the USSR in the chaos of the early war, fought guerilla campaigns against the Red Army well into the 50s (see the Forest Brothers) as well as insurgent groups from a few other eastern European countries like Poland.
The most likely scenario though is that the Poster is an American, is fundamentally ignorant of WW2 history (or any history) and has no clue what they’re talking about.
True that, I’d forgotten. Embarrassing considering how often I bring it up to my clueless fellow Americans. The regime in Tehran are shitheads but Iran is genuinely the aggrieved party in any conflict with the US.
While the communism +/- debate is all very interesting, I feel like a brief history lesson is needed (to get the “joke”).
The nations that “fought in WW2 against communism”, were at war with USSR, as in they wers “the Axis Powers.”
Primarily: NAZI GERMANY.
So “rainbow stop the orange fascist”, is, in fact, PROUD of their ancestor’s support of the (OG) fascists…
Funny stuff, irony.

Also Iran fought against the Soviets and the British and Australians when it was invaded.

I hate to say this but there were also Finland, who fought against “communism” or USSR, if you like. And Finland wasn’t Nazi country.
