Aight fair enough, that's pretty concerning.
Nothing wrong per se with communism itself, it just tends to be extremely unstable and quickly turns to authoritarianism, I don't think it's ever worked for any nation in history so far.
The defending of Uyghur genocides, and the defending of the CCP and Russian government is really concerning though. Good thing this platform is federated.
libretro has a similar problem, it's developed by a team of transphobic, homophobic, racist Russian apologists who border on Nazism. I don't know what attracts these people to FOSS development.
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 🤣
Loll the communists are your only allies? Russia is literally trying to exterminate gay people, so can you please step kindly to the left and fuck yourself?
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.
Not a fan of that logic
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.
Show me a good communist country and ill show you a liar.
Youre definitely a 4chan plant lol
10$ says this stupid bitch lives in san francisco or something lol
