I agree too. The problem is many communist are actually Russian propagandists. There, they “really” think communism is a viable option. But openly discussing this stuff without bias? That would be awesome. Also probably not happening
You’re right. For a while Russia might have been considered a “regular” capitalist society following the cold war, at least by popular opinion in the west, but they’ve driven further and further into kleptocracy and facism. Of course, facism can be wrapped in a capitalist or communist flag. One may be a better breeding ground for facism but it can root anywhere.
True. But there’s this kind of nostalgia for communism and what started the revanchism of the late '90s in KGB officials and Putin that stopped Russia’s evolution in a free country. Kind of sad, they have now the worst of both worlds
Russia hasn’t been communist in even name since it was part of the USSR. The only people who really consider them communist are liberals who don’t understand the difference between the USSR and the Russian Federation.
I am not the Official Spokesman of Communism, but most communities I have seen and participate in aren’t pro-modern Russia. We might be against things like banning anything with “russian” in the name, but that doesn’t mean we see them as the second coming of the USSR. The Russian Federation is still an imperialist capitalist nation as much as any of the others.
You have the patsocs and stuff that might be more on board with Russia, but we don’t really claim them.
Man anti-communism propaganda is so ingrained yet they still don’t know how real communism work (not saying is good though).
Same as using facism for anything red-wing.

Ironically, Russia doesn’t even follow communist ideals. They are communist in name only.
