Russia MFA: Debunking the EU’s historical myths in c/history@lemmygrad.ml
[–] RedMace@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 week ago

Great collation of how the EU is anything but free from fascism.

Especially the last point opposing the UN Resolution shows which direction the EU is heading.

And please, for the love of people with more than 2 brain cells, no more verbatum texts from Kallas. That reads like a Trump speech.

a lot of people have formed strong emotional attachments to the EU’s mythology as a result

To the extent that they defend it in every topic they come across. From Moldova to the pig lobby in Denmark and homelessness in between. Discussions about the EU starts to show signs of religious fundamentalism.

How tf you survive

We don't. We praise the EU and build tanks.

Bur honestly, living costs are keep going up, the job market is very stale and rigid so you're stuck with a shit job. Salaries are barely keeping up with inflation. And we're talking of a 2% inflation in the Eurozone. Add on top the austerity measures across most EU countries and you have the perfect conditions for fascists rising again. I'm just so tired of all of this.

Oh and a year ago the propaganda was that with the help of AI we'll be able to work less and less. This has now done a 180 and the discussions range from cancelling a public holiday (where I always advocate for Christmas just to annoy the Libs), or working 48 hours/week.

Prison sentence for Marxists in Russia? (www.idcommunism.com)
 

Not sure if this is legit or not:

On 25 November 2025, during the closing hearings at the Central Military Court of the Yekaterinburg District, the prosecution demanded 20 to 24 years in a high-security penal colony for the members of a Marxist study circle in the city of Ufa, accusing them of “terrorism” and “conspiracy to overthrow the government.”

Does anyone have legit insights about the state of Marxism and communists in Russia? How or why the current government is unveiling statues of Lenin and Stalin anew and how that holds up against this article (in this regard, is idcommunism.com a legit source)?

Any legit source or insight is appreciated.

Saying the Soviet Union was feudalistic is really one of the dumbest things a "leftist" would say. Alas, performative leftism it is. Going through the motions, critisicing this and that capitalism, coming up with new terms like "Technofeudalism".

I agree he would openly turn against communists if it came to that. Maybe that's why "Diem25" and "Mera25" are not Marxist parties, but "anti-capitalist".
