It’s been reported by Georgian media that Tbilisi is now “actively working” to restore the country’s diplomatic relations with Moscow, severed by the former in August 2008, following its trouncing in a calamitous five-day war with Russia. While this may seem mundane to outside observers, it is a seismic development, amply testifying to the extraordinary pace and scale of the US Empire’s self-inflicted collapse.
Why wouldnt a socialist or communist at least tactifully support a man who was alive during the USSRs soviet era, who wants to normalize relationships with a country alligned with communist ones? (Russia > China)
The EU is clearly not friendly to communists, half the countries there ban communists from running!

This is greviances from the 90s, im taking the actions as they are now. We can agree Putin, this billionare are likely opportunistic captialist butchers while still seeing this as a move that benefits communists.
Im taking the actions as they are now, even if for cynical reasons breaking up the EU further and moving towards a direction that communism is permitted, and of which the most powerfull member of that bloc is a communist country is progressive.

Im not sure, if they do would you eat your hat and support it?
Do the communists in Hungary support removal from the EU also?
Breaking up a bloc that was setup to counter communist infulence, is in fact good.

Not sure why you always have to specify “conservative”. Would it be better if it was liberals doing it?
And “authoritarian kleptocracy”? How much liberal media have you been consuming? They always love using these terms when refering to Russia but they never actually explain why Russia’s capitalism is so much worse than the West’s. Don’t western states have police that they use to crack down on serious dissent? (Have you not been paying attention to the Palestine protests?) Don’t their capitalists bribe the government and steal from the working class?
This isn’t “authoritarian kleptocracy” (or whatever other newspeak liberal media comes up with next so they don’t have to reveal their orientalism/chauvinism and just say what they mean which is “eastern barbarism”). It’s just capitalism doing what capitalism always does.

Georgia is not in the EU.
So “communists” are aligned with western backed and funded opposition groups? That’s kind of sus don’t you think? I mean come on, it’s gotta raise some red flags for you about what kind of “socialist parties” these are that associate with liberal NGOs and participate in color revolution attempts.
Again with this word “authoritarian”. Funny how it’s always used against governments the West doesn’t like. It’s a very unserious word used by unserious people.
Now, the undoubtedly reactionary nature of these governments aside, isn’t it objectively a good thing that they are behaving that way? That they are undermining the western hegemonistic order for their own selfish interests? Hungary for instance has been a real thorn in the side of the pro-Ukraine warmongers in the EU and NATO. As much as i hate Orban, it’s been frankly pretty entertaining to watch. Don’t you want dissent and disunity in the imperialist camp? I certainly do.

So if it’s acceptable for those “communists” to join forces with western backed color revolution agents, then surely it is not a big deal for other communists to critically support the Georgian government in its suppressing of said color revolutionists and reconciliation with Russia. Since we have abandoned any pretense of moral purity anyway…
If that’s what you think is happening you haven’t been paying attention. You’re just regurgitating the western mainstream media’s propaganda narrative, which as usual is the exact opposite of reality.
Yes they are the warmongers, they are the ones who purposely engineered the conflict and who continue to needlessly prolong it to Ukraine’s detriment, all while their reckless and desperate escalations risk widening the conflict and put us all in danger.
They are not defending anything, they are merely using Ukraine to try and harm Russia. When just like Georgia, Ukraine’s interests would be best served by refusing to continue to be a western puppet and mending ties with Russia instead, that’s just a fact.
So far they’ve prevented Hungary being drawn into to the conflict. Hungary has wisely refused to send weapons to the conflict zone, recognizing that by doing so it only prolongs the conflict and gets more Ukrainians and Russians killed.
Of course it has benefited the people of Hungary. While other NATO and EU countries ruin their economies and impoverish their people with anti-Russian sanctions and billions flushed down the toilet in the corrupt black hole that is Ukraine, Hungary has looked out for its own people’s interest and kept energy prices and inflation low.
When other NATO countries send their soldiers to die in Ukraine, Hungarian soldiers will still be safe in their own country. And when Russia strikes back at other NATO countries that have made the mistake of making themselves a co-belligerent in the conflict, Hungary will remain untouched.
Turns out having good relations with and refusing to be drawn into conflict against a nearby major power is good for your people. I know, what a shocker!
There is only one imperialist camp

They certainly tried. What else would you call it when western backed NGOs organize astroturfed protests and violent riots aimed at toppling the elected government because the government is trying to pass a law that would expose foreign funding of said NGOs? When western politicians shamelessly go to Georgia to participate in and support the protests, just like they did in Ukraine on the Maidan in 2014?
It doesn’t get much more transparent. Next you will claim that the Maidan coup was just a “peaceful revolution”, or that the violent western-funded mob in Hong Kong were just “pro-democracy activists”?
NATO has been in Ukraine since 2014 and Ukrainian troops have been on Russian territory since 2022 when the new oblasts voted in a referendum to join Russia. And is a country really sovereign if their government is a puppet for foreign powers?
I do think that, which is why i said that the Nazi Kiev regime that was put in place by a western orchestrated coup is harming Ukraine.
They are the ones who have been dropping bombs on civilians in Donetsk and Lugansk since 2014. Them doing so forced Russia to intervene to protect those people and as a result there is now a larger conflict in Ukraine.
Comparing Palestinians with Nazis who want to commit ethnic cleansing is grotesque genocide apologetics and literally a Zionist talking point. This shows to me that you are not engaging in good faith. Good bye.
Are we still talking about Georgia or are you referring to a different country now? Is this a hypothetical scenario in an alternate reality?
Because in this reality Georgia isn’t in the EU, never has been, and, inshallah, never will be.
Putin was also america’s guy, see how that turned out.

capitalism in the west is fair and free but in Russia is ruthless and authoritarian.

The enemy of our enemy is our friend, it is as simple as that. When the west focuses it’s resources on fighting Russia, it gives the rest of the world breathing room, thus we have seen progressive movements grow in many places that would’ve been immediately crushed under other circumstances.

There are 2 sides to this coin, and in bad faith, you use the side that supports your views. The americans also used the very same strategy, but it worked out for them, what is the difference here? That the natives did not identify the americans as the primary contradiction. There are many other examples, like Chinese civil war, the korean war, vietnam war, etc… The point is to identify the primary contradiction, which in this case is american imperialism.
And you’re completely wrong, the decline of american hegemony is forcing them to give away concesions. Countries all around the world are joining BRICS, Yemen gets away with attacking Israel shipments, african nations are kicking out french and american troops of their countries, even Saudi Arabia is slowly dropping the petrodollar policy!!, something that was immediately punished with bombs in the past (lybia, irak, iran), americas “backyard” is now full of leftists goverments, etc… Its quite obvious that america is losing control.
As i mentioned, americas “backyard”. Heck look at Mexico left party completely destroying the neoliberal parties and the US can’t do anything more than putting some NYT hit pieces here and there 😅

Georgia isn’t in the EU. I think you’re a bit confused mate.
