A somewhat common statement that I see made by internet leftists is that the denazification of Germany didn't go far enough. What is the history behind this assertion? Where can I read more about it? (hexbear.net)

Well amongst the similar things (or worse) happened in the former warsaw pact states and yugoslavia as well. The whole collapse of the Soviet Union was a massive humanitarian disaster.

Yeah, I can't think of anything in modern history that feels like it set humanity as far back as the Soviet Union and allied socialist states collapsing.

EDIT: also, sorry if it sounded like I was trivializing the other collapses, I'm just not as familiar with them.
