      the modern russian state is not the soviet union, it is who america put in charge after creating a situation that led to millions of deaths.

      The fact that you can believe this narrative literally spawned by the people who currently control and siphon away 50% or more of Russia’s entire GDP into foreign bank accounts under the whip of Vladimir “East German KGB-operative” Putin is pretty astounding.

      You’re right, the modern russian state isn’t, the soviet union, but the soviet union didn’t like gays either so idk what the fuck You’re talking about. Id love to see you defend the millions of deaths caused by stalin and lennin (plus the massive famine) and/or explain how thats capitalisms fault 🤣

        Hey, just fyi, there are different branches of communism. The most popular ones vehemently oppose Russia, China, and North Korea.

        u/CommunistLady is part of the delusional few who are pro-China, but please don’t attack communists as a whole because of the loud idiots.

        Your outrage is completely misguided.

        Say Russia was trying to “exterminate gay people”: it is a capitalist country.

        You can’t present the deeds of capitalists as evidence of communist wrongdoing.

          …it would great if the tankies could understand that fact to be case in any other context when discussing Russia, but they don’t, so we won’t.

              Because it isn’t logical, because it is all a mess. Yet because Russia claims Soviet glory and tankies actively shows the current regime reverence as if Putin was a General Secretary, it is rather hard to actually make a distinction between the current authoritarian regime and the one of the Soviets - the fact of the matter is that Russian political culture whether royalist, communist or capitalist doesn’t change.
