Really funny too because it was the USSR that gave them their independence.
“They will never forgive us for it”
Try telling it to finnaboos. I bet you’d be able to see the results from space
Fascist 80 years ago, fascist today
Yep
Isn’t it weird how we’ve collectively gone back in time 50 years to the Cold War? It’s become more and more common to hear libs and conservative call each other commies, the Hammer and Sickle are being banned, and Capitalists talk about the Russian Federation like it’s the actual Soviet Union.
also isn’t it weird how communism is to blame for every problem in this society created by a hegemonic capitalist system?
Turns out class conflict is a real thing that emerges from material conditions and not just something the Soviets made up.
Who’d have thunk it
pretty funny in its own way that the fall of the soviet union didn’t end the cold war
Fascism requires an enemy.
this is more capitalism requires empire for the expansion of new markets
What’s the difference?
I’d argue we are going as far back as the 1920s, with the global economy on the verge of imploding, socialism becoming popular in western nations, and the increasing tolerance of fascism (even nazism) and anti-communism reaching dangerous levels.
One day very soon, something is going to wake people up to the reality that they’ve been so scared by Russia and China that they’ve opened the door for a new Nazi regime.
Given how much people been scared? They’ll still say it’s a lesser evil. They said that after WW2, when US was prancing around Europe, bringing back fascists to power. They said that after 1991. They are saying it right now about Ukraine and Baltics.
It sometimes feels like the cold war never ended
What a joke. The government consisting of neoliberals and nazis banning communist symbols, when the communist parties of Finland get like 0,1 % of the total vote every single election. Stalin should not have stopped at Tali-Ihantala.
Fascists gonna fash
Freedom and democracy. Free speech. Civilized world.
Right 😂
Finland: Bootlicking fascists since 1939.
since 1939
Heated NATO moment
I’d be lying if I said I was surprised
I’m only surprised it took them this long
stalin shouldn’t have stopped at berlin
He had attempted Finland already
Safe to say that banning the symbol of the people that defeated the Nazis probably makes you a Nazi
Well their air force flags literally still have swastikas in them. But no, hammers and sickles are the problem! Nazi scum nation.
Actually, they replaced it a few years ago with something that’s totally not a sonnenrad.
Fluffly sonnenrad lmao. Also why the hell there is even crown there
The whites really wanted to have a king, but weren’t allowed (because the Germans lost WW1). So they still simp for their imaginary king.
I think it was more that the German noble they wanted to be king declined because he thought that having a German monarch after Germany just got owned in WW1 would probably not be the best way to start a new nation state. I think they even kicked around the idea of making some Finnish politician king instead
A certain intelligence community has been hard at work minimizing the contribution of the Soviets to ending WW2. It’s gotten so bad, I expect the next WW2 era first person shooter won’t be having a Russian campaign this time.

The next? Call of Duty: WWII already came out six years ago and only had an American campaign lol
It was honestly pretty hilarious how hard that one went into “America won WWII” territory when previous WWII ones were pretty good about showing how other countries made the bigger contributions (even with them still having biases and propaganda), most of them had a Russian campaign too
It’s gotten so bad, I expect the next WW2 era first person shooter won’t be having a Russian campaign this time.
Nah they’ll have one but it’ll be about all of the destroyer battalions of the NKVD with you playing as Putin’s father burning Ukrainian villages with zero context in regards to why it was done.
Then just make a new symbol, the sickle is not as representative today as it used to be when it was invented anyways, since agriculture is more industrialised now, at least in Finland.
Hammer and sickle is over ❌🙅 Time to use tractor and keyboard 🚜⌨️✅💪
I’m sympathetic to the Juche symbol as well.
They can’t ban stars and the color red, lmao. So long as those are around they’ll be good.
Don’t give them ideas.
Finland to declare war on space
They can ban anything they want. The cops and judges enforcing the law instinctively knows who to target and who to ignore.
Worst comes to worst they can still wave the flag of AES countries, at that point banning even those would start to have its consequences. It’s a losing battle by the bourgeois state, because socialism isn’t tied to specific symbols and flag waving, we can adapt.
The problem is that they’ll just ban the new symbol if it gains enough traction
Of course, but that’s dialectics for you. There is no eternally solved problem with no negative effects.
This maybe
Based.
I fucking love this symbol.
I’ve seen that symbol before, but I can’t remember where or when
It’s from Disco Elysium.
It’s always either Ukraine, Baltics, Finland or Poland, even Balkans, Hungary, Czech and Slovakia are silent, alwayse these bark 24/7.
The trufinns party demands the existence of falsefinns. Thank you liberals for allowing them to rule.
Do they still have swastikas on their fighter jets in Finland?
I’m not 100% sure but I think it was dropped a couple of years ago. Plenty of war memorials over here still have at least one swastika on them though
