    Ukraine has banned all communist organizations, communist symbols, communist songs (including L’internationale), etc. Even if the KPU had been a complete puppet of the Kremlin, it would be irrelevant.

    Leftist politics are banned in Ukraine, as per the Decommunization efforts after Euromaiden.

      It’s not surprising why a country struggling to stay free of Russian imperialism would ban parties associated with Russian imperialism. This is like acting surprised that Germany banned the Nazi party.

              On Lemmy? Because Reddit sucks.

              On this post? Because it appeared in All and I think leftists are fun to argue with for the same reason I argue with conservatives. I like occasionally reminding myself of how horseshit political thought is outside of social liberal circles

              I mean, let’s take you. You’re literally celebrating being a wumau tankie. It’s basically a self-parody at this point.

                How can you say “tankie” with a straight face? It’s such a childish, meaningless, and unserious word.

                Thinks that Reddit sucks

                Moves to a new website

                Brings into the new website the same mental diarrhea fuelled with empty copy-paste arguments for which Reddit is known to suck

                If you want to behave like a redditor, go back to reddit.

                    Lemmygrad users typically take a position of critical support to Russia on the war since U.S./NATO is not the good guy here.

                    Search up Euromaidan if you’re interested in how this all started in 2014

                    If you call Russia imperialist do you have a consistent definition for imperialism? Whatever Russia’s doing the US is the hegemonic empire. They’ve invaded so many more countries, done countless coups, imposed punitive economic measures, extracted resources and stolen way more territory than the Russian federation. Same with Europe and Canada. How about you deal with the log in your eye before pointing out the splinter in someone else’s.

                I argue with conservatives.

                how horseshit political thought is outside of social liberal circles

                Do we tell them, or let them figure out at the Biden booth?
