Lib shit Natalie really not getting the memo that her fucking country's action has impacted and is impacting negatively majority of our world. Right wing government suck everywhere(example: Canada with the red tory PM) but the fact that it's always this absoluteness (example being "oh you're a tankie because you hate US oligarchs/official/government" when saying things like Russia hasn't impacted our world to the level of what US has done since the fall of USSR with respect to imperialism) that unserious people like her always push whenever a person criticize US for their imperial practices all over our world is just so fucking stupid.

It's my favorite thing when neoliberal slime appropriate the stupidest elements of Trotskyism.
Also, I have no respect for anyone who uses the word "oligarch" to mean "Asiatic-style capitalist" and I struggle to conceive how professed anticapitalists can still like her. Well, of course I can, she's part of their consumer lifestyle brand, she's an affectation of quippy, artsy, intellectualism that is so much more effective at bringing about real change by punching left over and over and over.
I'd be fine with libs making these sorts of complaints occasionally if they spent the rest of the time complaining about the actually seriously bad shit that happens in their own back yards. But they won't. Ever. They like the bad shit that happens in their back yard I guess it's the only real explanation
woke imperialism
how can someone who has, as much as i disagree with her on some things, shown so much capacity to understand things, look at “tankies” “supporting” russia with such a surface level analysis?
i feel like she’s just personally upset at “tankies” and is looking for an excuse to criticize “tankies”, who have done nothing but be hot and correct

Russia is not a far right country ,in fact Russia is one of the ONLY counties in Europe not led by a fascist maniac
If you know anything about geopolitics you would know that Russia is opposed by right wingers in the global south but supported by left wingers ,example (election with a pro trump candidate vs a pro Putin candidate)
Also let’s look at Putin’s policies : more tolerant on immigration than the USA ,Germany ,Poland ,Baltic states ,France
Abortion is legal and will likely never be removed as a right
Muslims and ethnic minorities are actually protected by the state
Is NOT viewed as a nationalist
His MAIN opponents are Nazis ,Neo Nazis ,monarchists (who are also Neo Nazis) , NeoLibs who want to privatize Russia
Is Putin a communist ? No he’s not and Russia is not a communist country by any means but that doesn’t fucking matter ,there are ONLY 5 communist countries on the fucking planet
And I hate this absolutely braindead thing from westerners not libs but comrades about Putin being a fascist ,I don’t respect liberals so I don’t care but I hate when our comrades say this while simultaneously defending Bashar Al Assad (rightfully)
If Bashar isn't a fascist (he isn’t but he has more reactionary opinions than Putin) than Putin isn’t
Also as for the Russia is anti communist thing ,yes I don’t care ,Russia is not even close to being the most anti communist country in the world proven by the fact it’s literally an ally of communist states and Putin is not much of an anti communist as a lot of Russian are these days (unfortunately) as well as his opposition
Putin also isn’t really a dictator but this one is more complicated as elections are rigged in Russia just not to a full extent ,most Russians would vote for Putin even if elections were completely fair but there is indeed corruption
Sorry for how angry I have been but I can’t tolerate nonsense
And please mods I’m not gonna deal with any of the libs that will reply to this comment ,it’s your job
Russian liberals are amongst the most racist, islamophobic and western-servile people imaginable. They would sell out their grandma for a tacky overpriced western "luxury item". That alone should be an indication that russia is conservative and reactionary but aligned with the progressive forces of history. And so ironically pro-putin russians are driven closer to internationalism than the average western leftist is.

I'm from country with HEAVY anty-russian propaganda, so you know, Russia bad. Could someone point me into the direction on materials about Russia with more balanced point of view?
The current war in Ukraine would never have happened if Ukraine had bothered to implement the Minsk Agreements.
They would have gotten back ALL of their territory lost during the civil war excluding Crimea (which they’re never getting back anyway), on the account that they have to stop pursuing ethnic cleansing policies in the eastern regions (the Minsk Agreements explicitly gave some level of cultural autonomy to the provincial governments so the Rada cannot, for example, simply impose a ban on the Russian language on a whim like they did on February 2014, which sparked the civil war in the first place).
Ukrainian fascists chose no, they cannot live without ethnic cleansing the Russians. So now they are going to lose everything.
I'm from country with HEAVY anty-russian propaganda
Do you have any idea how much that lowers it down 😭
🤔 let me think for this one ,I’m sure some comrades here have something
There are certainly people who go out of their way to defend Russia, but for fuck's sake, Ukraine literally was attempting an ethnic cleansing campaign while also violating multiple treaties
If it were any other country, the libs would gladly be in favor of retaliatory action
we, as educated communists, should go out of our way to dispel western misconceptions about Russia and the rest of our "enemies" and spread understanding. It is our duty to disillusion these chauvinists of their fake notions and correct them. We must counter-signal to the entire western dominated narrative that is always pro-chauvinistic and anti-"enemy of the day" in every way that we can.
Okay but Putin has banned being gay in public, he was part of the regime that killed the soviet union and he fucking sucks.
That's why it's critical support of them in their anti-imperialist struggle and not uncritical support of their domestic policies
However if I see someone being overly critical of an official “enemy” at a crucial time like a coup attempt or imperialist invasion, and talking about nothing else, I see that person as an enemy.
the only countries i uncritically support is DPRK and Cuba. Pretty much every other AES has major flaws or foreign policy problems. Russia has better foreign policy than China does, which is very cringe and pathetic for China.
I hear that, and looking at how he helped to illegally dissolve the soviet union as a Yeltsin protege, it's super-true. It also means unless the US falls, there's no way to reliably replace him; the West introduced Putin to the world in the first place.
We should recognize that the West wants a further-right figurehead and they only support rebellion to that end; if we don't defend the people of the world from the USA, there will be very few global gay liberation wins.

i swear they operate under some collective delusion.
WHO IS TALKING ABOUT RUSSIA?
The word is second-campist. If you're going to dig up old terms
