    Why does the compromise guy have a hammer and sickle on him? Is it because these countries were formally part of the USSR?

      Today were can clearly see that, communism was always a red herring. Tankies during cold war and tankies today (that love to dress in American flags), were always about supporting of totalitarian regimes.

      The hammer and sickle is to support USSR.

    800 years of russian state imperialism isnt enough to convince some people that the rest of Eastern Europe has truly had enough of one of their own imposing their big brother geopolitics on the rest of them. Every shitty empire has their MO, for russia, its always been a game of lies, deceit, and muddying the waters of truth. The guy in the middle is someone whos been drinking water from a poisoned well somewhere.

          “Hurr durr, it’s unacceptable to us white liberals when everybody but the US does it."

          Are you still here, white supremacist? Have you been priced out of the copium market, perhaps?

              So you don’t understand what the term “Marxist” actually means?

              Color me surprised… do you need me to explain it to you, liberal? Fine - I will.

              Marxist simply means that you understand capitalism through a Marxist lens - that’s it. Nothing more, nothing less.

              You can be a Marxist and be a socialist.

              You can be a Marxist and be a fascist.

              You can be a Marxist and be the most exploitative and parasitic capitalist around.

              Hell, you can be a Marxist while also being the most money-grubbing banker in the west - Marxism will even help you achieve that.

              Are you getting this, liberal? Or is it still flying over your head?
