Actually the USSR wanted to cooperate with Nazi Germany. The only problem was them invading the USSR. You cannot just bend the facts.

Why would the Communists want to ally with the most rabid and violent anticommunists on the planet?

First of all because they did (facts). Second of all, because they weren’t true communists and just established a dictatorship based on propagated communism.

First of all, they did not (facts), they signed a non-aggression pact to bide their time while the West refused to ally against the Nazis, hoping that the Nazis and USSR destroyed each other.

Second of all, the Soviets were true Communists and established a Dictatorship of the Proletariat as is in line with Marxism.

Please read theory before you cosplay as an expert in what is and isn't "true" Communism, it's painfully clear that the furthest you've gotten is Wikipedia.
