What's up with all the Pro-Russia Stuff in lemmygrad.ml and this Community (lemmygrad.ml)

What is the positive outcome of defending an authoritarian regime like Putin’s? I don’t see how that advances socialist goals in any way. I am learning that Zelenskyy and Ukraine are not as good as Western media describes, but I do not see how Putin is better. I’m interested in being part of Lemmygrad.ml, but not if it defends authoritarian regimes especially if they are not working towards socialism/communism. I want to work towards socialist goals, but I do not want to be used as a tool in some authoritarian geopolitical mess. Russia also gives me the impression of being colonialist but I’m not sure if that’s accurate

Thank you for your response. I feel embarrassed by the oppositional way that I worded my question, and grateful for the volume and quality of responses from people in this community. I am reading their comments and following links, and I will do more research on prolewiki. I am part of a socialist group where I live, and I am reading through introductory works by Marx and others at the moment.

What I really appreciate about this experience is that I was not silenced or ignored, though some degree of that would have been warranted, but rather that I was met with educated responses and open dialogue

It's never warranted to silence or ignore someone who has shown an honest willingness to learn. We understand that someone who is new to these subjects will come in with views and ways of expressing themselves that are shaped and prejudiced by the capitalist and imperialist propaganda which surrounds most of us on a daily basis in Western and Western-influenced countries.
