    While this is aesthetically cool, I would rather not have any non-socialist country with soviet/socialist aesthetics.

      The same for me, it would be dishonest and be trying to ‘rebrand’ the soviet past for nationalism.

    I’d much prefer a communist Russia with a shit flag than have modern Russia appropriate the Soviet flag

        Yes but with a few rewrites for modern progressive issues, and make the USSR follow a mass line. Honestly, the Chinese democratic system is the only reason that country didn’t collapse.

      It won’t happen as long as Putin and his gang draw breath.

    Yeah, but remember. Putin is an Anti-Communist. I wouldn’t like to see our flag being propped up by a anti-Communist State.

    Seems like putting this forwards forces their opponents to demonstrate they do not in fact support socialism. When they are forced to defend their decision for being opposed to it they will give all kinds of contrived answers.

    Appears to be an easy political win. Well timed with soviet nostalgia, the war and potentially Putin’s time now running down, a change is not far from coming.

    I do not think we need a lenin or stalin. They were just communists who did what they could in their situation, and were able to rise to the occasion. Any Marxist Leninists could rise to the challenge in this situation. The masses are their own leader.

          Reminds me of a comment I saw somewhere online. “Westerners think Putin is some kind of hardliner. Wait till they see a real Russian hardliner.”

    Would it be a good thing to have the flag associated with the current administration of Russia?

      eh, it may get more Russians interested in Marxism Leninism and would detract power from liberals. On another hand it would be a misuse due to it not actually being socialist, and we could get a whole load of liberal brainrot about it. The cope from it being raised back over the Russian government buildings once more would be fucking glorious though.

          It would all be tied together for realism if they put the Soviet anthem as their anthem again. Maybe, just for realism (as the , they could re-establish the supreme soviet and the worker’s soviets, just for the lib cope right? while we at it, lets just (I stress because realism) replace the government with one party communist government.

            Reestablishing socialism to own CNN and the Guardian. It’s a weird motive, but I’ll take it.

              But imagine the cope of Russia going soviet socialist again. Just imagine all social media just fucking losing it, the right incredulous since they thought that USSR collapse = end of communism. It would be positively Glorious

        Don’t get me wrong I would love to see it, a socialist Russia again would be a rallying cry for the true left across the world.

          that is where a problem lies that you did point out, its not socialist, so adopting the aesthetic would be… inappropriate

    Mixed feeling about that. On one hand i would at no point want current Russia using that proud symbol, but on the other, flag regardless, Russia COA is absolutely hellishly fucking ugly, even for the low standard of mutated eagles.

    Though after some thinking, they proposed it not for it to pass, since it have no chance, but for being heard and gathereing some support. Also, they are right about current flag.

      they are not doing this seriously, they’re mocking russia claims of ‘denazification’ because the current russia flag has been used by nazi collaborationist.
