I'm confused.
Did you forget how all the MLs were rooting for Putin and performing apologetics about how Russia had "national trauma from its interactions with the west"? (actual quote, btw.) They pointed out how there were some factions in the military that were antisemitic and ignored the openly fascist policies of the Kremlin.
Were? They're still rooting for him. As the soviets would say, they're useful idiots.
JFC.. Russia needs to neutralize Ukraine for self defense from demonic NATO intentions to diminish it. Disinformation blaming Russia just allows your rulers and oligarchs corruption profits while your own countries are diminished instead. Pretending that all of your evil benefits Ukrainian people is by far the worst outcome of your hate.
NATO is demonic, that's a new one. Believing in higher powers isn't very commie of you, comrade. The only power is the state. Now run along and mind your labor.
Diminishing others is neither humanist or divine, and while west hates Putin for restraining oligarchy, it's not a commie country, and you/us don't need to be a commie to denounce evil.
The Spanish Civil War is actually slightly inaccurate. The Communist Party were sided with the Liberal Republicans instead of the revolutionaries - like the anarchists, and other socialists - and later prosecuted those revolutionaries and accused them of being fascists while a lot of them were still in the frontlines fighting actual fascists. The Communist Party were just serving the interests of the USSR, which at that point wanted a liberal government in Spain (due to their relation to France, if I recall correctly) and not a workers' revolution.
This is why campism is the biggest pitfall on the left. It's tempting to let others do your thinking for you, but this is where it leads.
What can drag Google to learn more about tankies fucking up Catalonia?
