    Oh good, this seems like a good place to ask something that’s been bothering me for a while.

    I see the posts from Hexbear and Lemmygrad. I can understand why they are in favour of theoretically communist regimes like China. What I can’t for the life of me see is why they seem to unconditionally support modern Russia which is surely as far away from communism as you can get.

    I must be missing something but not sure what?

      “I hate the US”

      “Oh Russia and Iran hate the US. I love Russia and Iran!”

      Unfortunately sometimes people are actually as stupid as they make themselves out to be.

      They’re not actually communists, it’s just a facade for Kremlin and CCP propaganda.

      Noo you don’t ._. Their train of thought is more often than not “USSR=Good. USSR hates USA. USA=Bad. Modern Russia hates USA. So Russia = Good.”

      Because they’re anti-west not pro-communist.

      Anything critical of Russia is obvs western propaganda and as Russia is an enemy of the west, they will support them.

      They see the enemy of their enemy as their friend, instead of realising it’s just another enemy.

      But you see, Russia is just what is left of the glorious soviet union who got destroyed by the western evils. Whatever they do is totally justified in their bid to rebuild the union under a dictator, dont you know anything? And Ukraine is full with jewish nazis.
