@Thinkerbell How are you gonna be fascist and side with Ukraine? You know Azov doesn't run the country, right? They're just in the military.

I have always sided with Ukraine, Boo-Boo.
Your fascistic premise about me is wrong. As usual.

@Thinkerbell Pretty inconsistent, but ok.
LMK when you decide to side with the Palestinians.

That is true. And the only major box that the Soviet Union didn't check was government ownership and control of the means of production. But that of course made them far-left socialists rather than fascists.
"...the contemporary successor of the Soviet union is a regime that checks pretty much every box of every definition of fascism you can find..."

@Thinkerbell That's because Russia's political history is unfortunate; its population knew nothing but brutal repressive regimes, and ultimately so long as people get complacent (or worse, can't get past the myth of the "strongman" that's needed to reign the country) any and every system you'll try there will degenerate into such a regime.
Likewise, the current regime originally started as a west-like democracy. The fact it became what it is today in less than 20 years (communism took longer to deteriorate, paradoxically) doesn't mean that democracy doesn't work (in fact in the rest of Europe they worked just fine for centuries).

Russia is several centuries behind western Europe in developing democracy, but at least there were a few faltering steps in that direction with Gorbachev and Yeltsin. Maybe there will be more steps after Putin goes, and his successors give up on the idea of restoring the empire of Great Rus.

A lot less extremist posts on both sides, depending where you are. In Italy they are stirring up right-wing fervor with made up shit about the left. Here they post made up shit about both sides in order to drive division.
One of our founding fathers (Ben Franklin) is often quoted as saying, "We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately." The goal of these Russian, Chinese, and North Korean data centers is to drive polarizing forces throughout the western world. 😔

@sarabee1995 Claim to be leftwing but have no problems with Russia/China/Iran being imperialistic, only the US or Europe. More often than not, as if it wasn't enough, they also look in admiration to those countries.
Imagine believing the EU, that collectively can't agree even on things like the minimum size of clams that can be professionally fished, is more imperialistic than Russia that's playing Risk irl as we speak lol.. those are the tankies.
