    Pictures are nice, but I’m very, very critical of this.

    Russia is not the Soviet Union.

    The Soviet Union was to be praised for what it aspired to be, a dictatorship of Workers, taking steps towards communism.

    Russia on the other hand is not. They have no intention, nor does it seem like they are heading in that direction… You can correct me if I’m wrong (I can be wrong, I’m willing to learn)

    Russia, alongside Iran, will receive my (very) critical support on their anti-imperialist struggle. But I’m very critical of them trying to use Soviet Union imagery to garner sympathy.

    I wish, I so so wish, for the birthplace of the first AES state to go back into building socialism… But this doesn’t seem to be it.

            I don’t think most “Western people” would consider my country or my people “western”.

            We were indeed colonized by an European nation if that helps.

            May we live to see the revolution comrade.

            Why did you ask though? Seems like a weird thing to interrogate when their comment should be the general line of thought among all communists.

            Where are you from?

              I already said why I asked. I didn’t interrogate anyone and wasn’t combative unlike you. I’m from the USSR.

              Edit: oh, you’re a Yankee anarchist with a Makhno pfp. See, this shit is why I asked.

                Man fuck you and this debate bro shit I wasn’t being combative but I am now.

                Also lmao you aren’t “from the USSR” it doesn’t exist anymore and unless you’re like 40 years old that is such a laughable statement.
