Did he not know that Russia isn't communist?!
I don't think a tankie from Texas can be assumed to know anything
Tankies aren't communist. Neither are leninists. Their only ideological stance is to be anti west/America. Even if that means aiding fascists whom they have more in common with anyhow. Of which there's historical precedence.
They do pretend to be communist though.
Absolutely. Like the economic liberals that larp as libertarians. What they call themselves and what they do are completely opposed.
Must be like the .ml "communist"s who love authoritarianism so much they'll pretend state capitalism is leftist.
Why is a 64 year old going to war?
I don’t think he fought. He was a propaganda mascot. He was in a lot of early videos when Russia was invading. Surprised he wasn’t killed earlier when Ukraine was opening the whoop ass on the invading force s
I remember seeing him in a couple videos. The article says 2014 though.
