Great news: the soviet union never fell! Russia is a communist country! Or at least that’s what my dad said to me when I told him that the soviet union fell in 1991 and it was a huge TV event. He just said “no it didn’t”, lol. The man is 60. He’s a regular “left” leaning liberal, so this confuses me. Does he think the fall of the soviet union was some sort of false flag op or some shit???
I’ve seen people who think Putin is bringing back the USSR but this is a whole new twist to that idea.
Yeah I don’t even know wtf to say. I didn’t even give him the “workers of the world unite” spiel, I only said that US advisors acknowledge Putin not wanting war beyond Ukraine, and I get this galaxybrain shit…
he probably just has such a terrible understanding of the USSR and modern Russia that he thinks the change was in name only and feels smart about seeing through this clever communist trick
Geniouse anticommunist boomer dad…
‘Yes, that’s what we wanted you to think! Ah‐ha‐ha‐ha‐ha‐ha‐ha!’
The USSR didn’t fall, it was illegally and undemocratically overthrown
I wish he was making this argument lol
Ive heard so many American liberals say that modern Russia is communist lol
Me wistfully staring at the flag of the USSR while they say this
