I often do but not as much as I do for the second version of the USSR that is going to be born soon.
Even if I didn't intend on doing so, being a vocal communist inevitably drags out the anti-communists ready to wield the Red Scare caricature of the USSR like a club. I do wonder what life would be like in the USSR, or where we would be if it was still here, but I'm more interested in watching the CPRF grow in the modern day, hopefully bringing a new RSFSR into existence.
Wait you guys stop thinking about the motherland sometimes?
Every goddamn day... They stole something beautiful from the world, and I will never forgive them.
I think of Lenin and Stalin quite often, if that counts. Human beings who's stories keep me motivated and determined to be a better person.
As infrequently as possible, which is about daily. Can't think about the '90s without cursing Khrushchov.
My grandma is half-russian half German, but never had the chance to grow up in the Ussr. She was born in Poland in 1933. Its a very complex history, and just that you know my grandma is a commie too. Her half-sister did though. So I do think about it a lot not just because of my Marxists affinity but also because of the family history that still is very much uncertain.
Also my mother (grandmas daughter) grew up right next to the GDR, they also watched a lot of GDR TV Illegally. When I moved to Belgium (we had to leave Germany due to poverty and neo-Nazi attacks on us, im half Italian). I ended up having teachers from the former soviet union even former Olympians. All of them were kind to me, in comparison to my elitist German teachers who only cared about those Germans who's grandparents/great-grandparents were actual nazis
So I think about it the soviet union in a historical, a Marxist and a sort of family related sense, and hopefully imagine how our lives could have been better if my grandmother and mother had the same chances as her sister and cousins/nephews did.
Daily.
I moderate on r/ussr, so, a lot. Outside of that, not too much.
My personal interests lie more in the DPRK or China, but I do still interact with stuff about the Soviet Union.
I moderate on r/ussr
My condolences. 🙏
There's so many libs that come in. Like, why comment on a sub you disagree with?
I also saw that your Reddit account got suspended, what happened. If you are the same person from there.
Account got permanently banned. Made a new one, that one got banned as well, withing 3 hours.
Reddit's fascist board and devs have found the best way to fight socialism online. Just direct all the socialist subs' traffic to the libs and anarchists. They do the red scare for them for free.
I've gotten some bs warnings before. Sometimes they don't even tell you what they're freaking out about.
They've been going after leftist spaces for so long. That whole thing with r/Deprogram and others for Kirkposting, or people who rightfully want to mutilate ICE agents for what they've done. They allow bot-infested, hate-filled echo chambers like r/Conservative who spread hate and bigotry.
They get to say "shouldn't disobey an ICE agent" to a video of them letting off 3 rounds into an innocent person's face, but we get the end of the stick where we have to censor our vitriol for these stormtroopers when they do it.
Every day, tho I spend a lot of time thinking when in breaks. My mind would always wander, and ofc it would wander to the USSR.
Then again, I highly admire it, so there's that.
i usually make remembrance when people here talk about it, but we should aspire to be even better, not the same as them
Every 5 seconds
Hardly ever. I find soviet nostalgia coming from people with no connection to the USSR kinda silly, actually. Specially coming from people born after it fell. I also don't know any Russian, so it's a huge pain to properly develop any special interest in soviet topics beyond a shallow "I've read a book or two".
Daily, but sometimes I think about another socialist countries like GDR, DPRK, Cuba and Vietnam (SRV) too.
Every time I see something connected to the Soviet Union (which is constantly, because I live in Russia).
Maybe once a week, I think about cultural revolution China a lot though.
