    They are Stalinists and Maoists who refuse to admit any wrongdoing by communist leaders. They are pretty prevalent on lemmy. For some reason they are typically pro Russia regarding Ukraine. Nostalgia maybe? lol

        Because you are against one side the violence of the other side becomes excusable? The pain and missery of minoritys in bric country’s is ok because you like other the other side less?

        I get the anti-western sentiment, but it isn’t an excuse to do bad things

        As an anarchist I don’t get the bootlicking of authoritarians, tankies and nazis are the same people, just with different flags, you can criticise the west and the bric states at the same time, one misdeed does never excuse another misdeed from the other side

        You say you are new to the community, so I hope one day you maybe realise that you don’t have to be a tankie to be a communist and that the priority should be human and human rights.
