Yes, which is what makes it all the weirder than Western MLs still simp for them.
Why use a communist symbol? Why not use Russia's actual flag? The entire thread feels like a bad fed joke.
... because the point is pointing out that it's insane that some Western self-proclaimed leftists are supporting an imperialist war, not that it's insane that Russia and the GOP are both fascist (which anyone with a hint of sense already knew)?
It's just good old fashioned American diabolism.
Believe it or not, while there's many bad things the US is and does, other factions are capable of being and doing worse. Maybe look at a situation on its merits rather than having "America bad“ as your single political principle.
Fuck socialism if it leads to outcomes like the USSR or DPRK - but that's the thing it doesn't have to be, and those definitionally aren't socialism.
This one struck some nerves lmao. I don’t expect much from the people who think the full strength of NATO is fighting in Ukraine. Poland alone would march to Moscow in a month
Well after 2 years of such stupid losses, any army would do that in a week. Proved by prigozhin.
Why Poland specifically? Not an expert on (international) politics
I don't think there are many countries that hate Russians more than the countries formerly occupied by them. And Poland is the most well-known of them internationally.
Not a pole, but from the neighborhood and can confirm. And by "formerly occupied" we don't mean just Soviet Union. Russia's imperialist shit has been going on for literally centuries.
Biggest army in western Europe. Also they hate Russian imperialism with a passion if I'm not mistaken
And they've built up quite a formidable army in recent years. But then again, even Andorra could march straight to Moscow these days.
Ty
"nazbol" is the term
Wtf is USSR in here for?
Meme from the cold war?
Implying that Russia are commies? Please tell me it isn't this one.
Nah, implying that MLs and like authoritarian 'leftists' are aligned with right-wing fascists in supporting the invasion and genocide in Ukraine.
Why not use Russia's flag then?...
Because Russia isn't ML or even nominally leftist? And this meme is addressing self-proclaimed leftists who bootlick for genocide and imperialism?
Bro, kbin is an actual shit show haha.
But I see now that you moderate “Ukraine,” so the original picture checks out.
You (either intentionally to mislead, or ignorantly) must likely think NATO is actually helping in Ukraine instead of fucking up grain-futures for hedge funds (and letting BlackRock “rebuild” when the meat grinder stops).
