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.

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.
