            in this case because no, we don’t support literally everything the soviet union ever did, not really. thats the strawman. marxist-leninists are also primarily in the third world.

            but yes. revolution itself is an assertion of authority. most western governments also deploy their authority quite a lot.

              Oooh I get it, because Taiwan still exists, the Chinese revolution is still ongoing. Smart!

        In all seriousness, who are the “Western Tankies” that support post-Perestroika Russia? Russia hasn’t been a cause-celeb of the western left in over 40 years.

        Militant left LGBTQ folks revile the United Russia party, in no small part because of how closely it aligns with the Bush Era War on Terror and Netanyahu Era Israeli genocide.

          Coming from someone who regularly regurgitates Russian talking points on Ukraine?

          lol

          The usual vomit of “I’ve never even seen a tankie in my life!” by someone who regularly plays defense for their campist delusions.
