      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.
