    You’re aware that everyone is aware of that, right? If you’re going to argue with a straw man, at least build a better straw man.

      Look at the OPs post history, they post constantly in support of Russia, China and North Korea, as though Russia is in some way ideologically aligned with the other two.

        They aren’t ideologically aligned (at least for the most part), but they’re geopolitically aligned by circumstance.

          Sure, but that’s basically irrelevant to the point being made in OP’s memes.

          Also, there is no ‘for the most part’. Geopolitical alliances notwithstanding, they are in no way ideologically aligned: I’ll say it once more for the people with their fingers in their ears, “Russia is not a socialist state, and hasn’t been for over three decades!”

            So you’re too stupid to know what the argument you’re facing is and you’re too childish to listen

              I’m the one who’s comment is being replied to, so I’m the one that defined the argument. You’ve got some nerve calling other people stupid 😂

                Sorry how could I not have known you were defining other people’s arguments for them. It’s like I wasn’t paying attention to how you were acting this whole time.

                I should have made that my criticism in the comment I wrote you nine minutes ago

            It is relevant, though. They’re geopolitically aligned with China and are the junior partner. It’s ridiculous to think that they’re the biggest threat to world peace

              I’ve spelled it out twice now, if you honestly still don’t understand I don’t think there’s anything I can say that will make it clear to you…

                No, I don’t understand, because I’m not a demagogue. I know for a fact that most liberals think we’re all demagogues.

                Guess where they got it from: the liberals themselves made it up to smear us.

                You fell for your own propaganda. You can’t successfully talk to us because you operate off of flawed assumptions.

                You played yourself.

                  🙄 I’m not any kind of liberal, I’m just not so black and white in my thinking that I believe Russia poses any kind of opposition to the global capitalist oligarchy (because they themselves are a capitalist oligarchy).

                  The fact of the matter is that both Russia and the US are working to further the aims of the billionaire technocracy that rules our planet, and I therefore consider shilling for either regime (or for the EU) to be despicable behaviour.

                  You guys consider yourselves communists but give support to capitalist states. Do better.

                    You can’t tell me what to do, liberal (or person who got fooled by liberals into thinking all communists are demagogues and actively ignores evidence to the contrary).

                    Russia is self-interested in opposing the imperialist system dominated by the US. It isn’t ideologically aligned with socialism, but it is practically aligned with socialists in overthrowing imperialism. The Russian bourgeoisie is nationalist, not imperialist, as there simply isn’t space for Russia to colonize as the west has the entire imperialized world under its thumb.
