You wouldn’t think of a European community of being so insanely pro Russia, yet on every single post mentioning Russia, any negative comments about Russia or their government will get downvoted to hell, some people get banned. I would not be surprised if I am banned or downvoted for posting this. People who are not just blatantly spamming Kremlin propaganda, please say why you are so pro Russia, to someone confused.
That’s an oversimplification, but close-ish to the truth. The Russian Federation is presently anti-imperialist and is helping socialist countries. This is what communists support. Communists do not support the capitalist decay of the Russian Federation, and want a restoration of socialism in Eastern Europe. This is why it is “critical support,” same with Iran for example. Socialist countries like China and Cuba are supported with less reservations, hence the distinction between critical and general support.
Okay, thanks for clearing it up. I thought the people here supported the Russian Federation fully in its current form,not wanting it to change, but you made a good point.
No problem!
Europe = Israel. That’s the most obvious reason to me.
I’m most optimistic about their foreign policy of mutual development & the ministry of defense pushing for more state planning of industrial capacity. It’s more than just being a countervailing wind to the US bloc with their nuclear arsenal & alliance with China, which hasn’t had enough time to build one up yet. The problem is the Kremlin & the central bank are still pretty neoliberal.
Well, hold on. Maybe we don’t all want a restoration of the USSR. It would be great from Russia to become communist again, but it doesn’t need to be a restoration. In fact, given its failures, I would think the better path would be for the formation of a net new socialist republic in Russia, and in the former Soviet states, but necessarily the same formation as in the past.
Fair! I actually agree, and would want something more similar to China with respect to how administrative divisions are handled. I was simplifying it for OP, but you make a good point.
