If this follows the maiden coups trajectory, keep an eye on lgbt+ and socialist protests (actual ones, not euro-communists) for aggitation by nato black boot operatives.
The telltale signs will be murder and violence.
There are Ukrainian fascist snipers who have been imported to Georgia recently…
EU moment
Decades of meddling, coup attemps, dirty money, foreign NGOs, relentless propaganda campaigns, building “occupation museums” to brainwash the young about their past… And when the country is finally beaten into submission all you armchair communists will start spewing “all Georgians are Nazis” within a week, while the profits your countries reap from their suffering are trickling down to you just enough to keep you docile. Can’t fucking wait to see this again.
Who exactly is saying “all Georgians are Nazis”? If you’re referring to the comparison to Ukraine, I’ve yet to see anyone here call the majority of the participants Nazis
No one. No one is saying it. They are just stirring the pot with a bunch of baseless claims through all their comments. I’ve barely ever seen mention of Georgia in general on here.
I don’t know how to help you if you’ve never noticed this behaviour around here.
An example is the obvious way to support your point.
It’s not from a Lemmygrad user, but I don’t agree with the phrasing of that comment and may have removed it if it had been reported. As it stands, I don’t see the need to remove it because it would decontextualize your reply. Please use the report function if you see comments like these.
Will do, and thank you.
That’s not even a lemmygrad user. Regardless, I think the point is that the people in power are Nazis. Not the general populace. Ukraine is tearing down victory monuments for Christ’s sakes. When Georgia starts doing that, I’ll definitely be sympathetic to calling their government Nazis.
The newly installed Tryzub on the shield of Mother Ukraine monument, will be likely to fall. The Soviet emblem was way more stable than a rushed replacement.
Yeah I don’t think “Ukrainians will never forgive the Red Army for liberating them from Nazis” meant “Ukrainian government”, sorry. More likely, this person thinks Ukraine was on the side of Nazis in WW2 which I’m seeing quite a lot too (not looking for examples though, sorry)
How is it any different from saying “Americans” do such and such when their representatives say awful things? We know that there are American comrades, and we know that there are likely a great number more comrades in Ukraine. I really don’t think the post was meant to disparage all Ukrainians. Just the ones that support what their representatives are saying.
You’re reading that in the worst possible light and it’s still not “all Ukranians are Nazis.”
I’ve seen countless examples of this and won’t waste time looking now, but if you want I can start tagging you and @GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml whenever I notice those?
No, don’t start spamming me.
If there really are a bunch of blatant, actual examples, they’d be easy to find. If they aren’t easy to find maybe there aren’t that many, or maybe they aren’t saying what you’re reading into them (like the one you linked).
I don’t know if this will make you feel better or worse, but I don’t think the kind of mindset you’re talking about in this thread is a thing specific to places that have been couped. For the US for example, I’m not sure if I’ve seen it on lemmygrad directly that I can recall, but I know on Twitter I’ve seen stuff along the lines of like “why is the left so useless” and it’s like, um, well its revolutionaries keep getting imprisoned or murdered by the state, then the messages of those revolutionaries (if they are allowed to be seen in popular media at all) get watered down into liberalism after their death, and aesthetic takes the place of substance in support of the status quo and methods of resistance like the feckless “resistance liberal” who “posts really hard and angrily about voting for a candidate who is carrying out genocide so the other genocide candidate won’t get in” are all that is allowed to be spoken about as a valid tactic in the media with the most reach.
People get frustrated and I think one way to approach it is to treat it less like a dismissal of an entire people and more like a strategy question. Underneath the dismissal is someone who probably wants a better world, but doesn’t understand why it isn’t happening or how to bring it about, from where they’re standing.
And when the country is finally beaten into submission all you armchair communists will start spewing “all Georgians are Nazis” within a week
I’m not gonna sit here and pretend that all is well with communists in the imperial core, but what are they expected to do? If Georgian communists, and Ukrainian communists got beaten down, imagine the situation for communists in Europe, or even worse, the US.

This is just Western exceptionalism talking.
In Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Ukraine, Georgia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, etc communist parties and periodicals are banned, WW2 veterans are harassed and arrested for wearing their uniforms or putting flowers at WW2 monuments, wearing communist symbols can land you in jail, and an overwhelming foreign capital is making sure those rules are in place and no competing thought is allowed in press.
While in the EU, UK, USA, communist parties are allowed to operate mostly unmolested by the government, they publish their newspapers, organise protests and so on…
You’re right that Georgian and Ukrainian communists got beaten down, nobody’s “beating down” British or French communists though, are they? But I’m supposed to “imagine the situation for communists in Europe, or even worse, the US” like you have it worse somehow.
Yes, communist movements in Europe and the US are getting suppressed. The violent phase occured 60-70 years ago. Now whatever is left is getting infiltrated and chopped up immediately through psyops. They are allowed to operate “unmolested” because they’ve been suppressed to hell and are now just husks used to sheepdog and manipulate people.
Take a look at Greece. KKE is vehemently anti-government but nobody cares to listen to it or takes it seriously, because there’s constant infighting for nonsensical reasons. That’s the controlled parts of the leadership constantly creating issues to prevent unified action. Any efforts by other communist movements are quickly destroyed by planting provocateurs in their marches and actions. Any spontaneous protest is immediately and violently suppressed by police forces. Similar things are happening in France, Spain and Germany.
Don’t get me started on the state of communist movements in the US and the UK.
I’d suggest you take a look at the history of communism in all these places and understand that what is happening to all the former Soviet countries now, has already happened after 1945 all over the West.
This is just Western exceptionalism talking.
I said I’m not going to pretend Western communist movements are perfect. But you are quick to blame the strawman Western communist for imperialism. That’s nothing more than sectarianism.
Yeah, Western communists ought to take up arms. But what arms? We are talking about extremely diminished movements in a fairly demotivated population, fighting against tanks, jets and drones. In countries like Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece, the communists tried to fight in the last century and failed. They are still carrying the stigma to this day. And yeah, a bunch of movements are bought for or otherwise institutionalized. How is that the fault of an everyday communist?
Lastly, you blame Western communists of decrying “all Ukrainians” as Nazis. Yet, you do the same exact thing by lumping all Western communists in the same basket.
While in the EU, UK, USA, communist parties are allowed to operate mostly unmolested by the government
The only reason you can legally have a communist party in the U.S., for example, is because this already happened decades ago:
Decades of meddling, coup attemps, dirty money, foreign NGOs, relentless propaganda campaigns, building “occupation museums” to brainwash the young about their past… And when the country is finally beaten into submission
Meddling and coup attempts by who? Ukrainians? Poles? Who the fuck couped the US? Are you high?
Seems like you haven’t read what happened with the Black Panther’s leadership.
In case you are interested in reading the context behind MarxMadness comment, you can search for the COINTELPRO program, which aimed to “expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize” groups like the Black Panthers.
The FBI did plenty of “meddling,” to put it lightly, with American leftist groups. Leaders of these groups were targeted in various ways, including assassination (see Fred Hampton).
The repression coming from inside the house didn’t make it any less repressive.
You’re describing the UkraNazis
How am I describing Ukrainian Nazis? What foreign country did they coup? What NGOs did they insert into other countries to meddle with their politics? What conflict abroad do they materially benefit from?
God almighty Western leftists are so fragile, critisize them and you all descend with “no u” not even bothering to make any sense.
