if you think criticizing the USSR is "anti-communist" that's your own cultist complex to deal with. critiquing Russian imperialism has always and will be based, regardless if it's hiding under the hammer and sickle or the Wagner logo
There's meaningful critique of the USSR, yes. Being founded in the United States to serve as a watchdog over the Soviets at the height of the Cold War while the United States was licking its wounds after commiting untold masses of war crimes in Vietnam is the peak of hypocricy and purely exists to slander Communism. Moreover, the USSR was not Imperialist, it stood against Imperialism by supporting Cuba, China, Vietnam, Algeria, Palestine, Korea, and more liberate themselves from Imperialism and Colonialism.
do y'all ever get tired of the genocide denialism circlejerk? don't you feel pathetic to do the job of Russia and China for free? at least get new material besides "X is anti-US, therefore X anti-imperialist and therefore communist ". it's called being a tankie
I don’t know, will you ever get tired of US disinformation about Chinese local & federal government’s responses to the CIA-backed terrorist attacks in Xinjiang?
