      He told friends he was going there to drive an ambulance, but in an interview admitted he had become a ‘soldier of the new Russia’ after reading pro-Communist propaganda online.

      Was homeless and a heroin addict. Thinks Russia is Communist, apparently. Nazi, no. Chucklefuck, yes.

        Honestly, I’m so confused why radical leftists are so pro Russia. It’s not like they’re communist anymore. In fact, they’re an authoritarian kleptocracy, which sounds like the type of government the folks on hexbear and lemmygrad would like the least.

          Even some people that experience the “real, existing socialism” can be pro russia…and they had to experience the worst part of it.

          “But we had work back then and funny parades” is a hell of a nostalgia drug.

      Oh yeah, didn’t you know to truly commit to denazification you have to get in good with the national front.

      It’s crazy to see this guy in front of a communist flag, and directly next to that is the US Confederate stars and bars.
