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.

    Largely because I am starting to realize the trap I am getting myself into. Arguing with anyone who bases their belief system on alternate facts and curated truths is a waste of my time and yours.

    Nothing I type here is going to change your mind, nor would linking any website that actually has true statements on it, simply because your belief system doesn’t allow it. If it doesn’t align with the fallacy, then it had to be lies. Right? Facts are irrelevant. Your facts are paramount.

    Russia isn’t communist, nor does it contain an ounce of true communist or socialist ideology. Capitalist? Sure, but where isn’t nowadays. Imperialist? Certainly.

    Your solution for a delusion is supporting a country where falsehoods and propaganda are the only information available.

      None of this answers my question, and instead is just an excuse not to. Russia isn’t imperialist, you state it like the very statement itself is proof. Either way, though, by your logic that communists can only support communists, we should not support Iran nor Hamas. Do you agree with that, or are you of the belief that Iran and Hamas are communist?

      Communists support and critically support that which helps the socialist movement.
