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?

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.
