Kasparov was virtually created by Botvinnik - “a staunch communist” in K’s own words; K himself greatly benefitted from (and wouldn’t exist without) the “oppressive shithole”; K was a member of communist party for too long - IIRC he was one of the last liberals to leave it in early nineties(!) which, somehow, didn’t stop him to play the role of “freedom fighter”- the image western media exploited to 110% in late 80s.
North Macedonia, former Macedonia - one of republics of Socialist Yugoslavia, ruled by Communist Party roughly from WW2 to 90s.
An interesting and controversial opinion on Karabakh situation:
"The UN Security Council meeting on Karabakh, initiated by France, predictably ended in nothing since everything was already over. However, even so an interesting moment arose.
The Armenian Foreign Minister in his speech called for the deployment of UN peacekeepers to the region, without once mentioning Russian peacekeepers.
Pashinyan will now be able to solve two main tasks: to finish off the former elite of Armenia within the country, which brought it to it’s current state, and - in the field of foreign policy - he simply must make the most of the situation to distance himself from Russia and replace it with other security guarantors.
The paradox of the situation is that Pashinyan’s power even strengthened after the fall of Karabakh, since now his opponents (the so-called Karabakh clan) have been defeated and a space for new solutions has opened up for him - now free of this insoluble conflict. "

Edit: here is a quick summary of it all, in just one image - https://news.am/uploads/images/000000/23/karabahskaya-bojnya-sorosa-i-ehrdogana.jpg
“Claims are circulating online that Finland is a Nazi country or supports Nazism due to…” historically supporting nazis while being nazi and fighting for nazis and using swastikas maybe!? :thinkin-lenin:
I used to be furious and react really emotionally, but over years I calmed down by repeating to myself: We are just watching the normal, everyday pulse of fascist propaganda. The mechanism intensifies it’s work during crisis but it’s the same old massage, it’s random echoes we keep hearing from people in our circles. Nothing extraordinary is happening that hasn’t been happening for centuries, and that will stop only after the removal of the overlaying structure, with the US regime atop. Just stay focused, keep on learning/contributing and spreading the message.
I’ve dedicated quite a lot of my free time to helping people across the globe that I’ll never meet in person
I especially applaud to this - just keep doing the god’s work. In general we need much more specific action, instead of endless depressed circlejerks about climate change and no way out and yadda.
PS If nothing else, get up folks and go out for your daily walk!
:rommunism: <— Haha this is epic!
Milošević’s main problem was that he was a socialist and against USA (atop of depending on Russia/Yeltsin too much as it turned out), so everyone from the “free world” and every single nationalistic piece of shit (including quite a lot of “the left”) from ex-Yu keep on spreadig the bullshit against him even today.
PS instead of him, Tony could put any, ANY president of the USA - but of course he didn’t.
