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.

Literally no one is confusing post-Soviet Russia with communism.

Communists critically support the Russian Federation, supporting it’s anti-imperialist role and strong allyship with socialist states, while seeking a return to socialism. Communists also support Palestine, Iran, etc, and these aren’t socialist either.

I think you need to re-center yourself on which community we are talking about. OP is talking about Lemmy.ml, not the general western public. We need to understand this based on the audience, and Lemmy.ml is largely communist.

Oh god thank you for saying that, we really need someone to teach us. Thank you white saviour.
oh god, now i see the error of my ways. thank you, my white saviour, for saving me from sin
The type of person to say Marx or Lenin didn’t really understand Communism
You keep asserting this without evidence, despite the fact that we’ve explained the nature of and the limits to our support for Russia at this conjuncture.

Can you explain why a communist wouldn’t critically support the Russian Federation in resisting imperialism, similar to why communists critically support Iran and support Palestine? Communists do not take a neutral stance on everything except for when socialists are directly involved, we take stances based on how they advance or hurt the global movement towards socialism.

We understand both communism and contemporary Russia. We also understand “critical support.”

What I did was give you a definition for the term “critical support,” because most people aren’t familiar with the term.

ProleWiki gives a pretty much bog-standard definition. Compare it to Wiktionary’s definition. Is Wiktionary’s and most other definitions also misinformation?
Yes. It’s Russian propaganda
What misinformation does prolewiki spread?
Lemme guess, you think the Dems are going to save you from Trump 💀
The USSR was socialist and run by a communist party. The Russian Federation is capitalist, but critically supported by communists for its anti-imperialist role. That’s all it is.
