Look at the OPs post history, they post constantly in support of Russia, China and North Korea, as though Russia is in some way ideologically aligned with the other two.
Sure, but that’s basically irrelevant to the point being made in OP’s memes.
Also, there is no ‘for the most part’. Geopolitical alliances notwithstanding, they are in no way ideologically aligned: I’ll say it once more for the people with their fingers in their ears, “Russia is not a socialist state, and hasn’t been for over three decades!”
Fyi, playing dumb after getting owned is a quintessential liberal move.
Owned? Oh, I get it, you’re a literal child.
Your friend referenced emojis I’ve never even heard of as thought that somehow rebutted any of my points, which is not how you do discourse. If you want people to take your ideas seriously you need to demonstrate an understanding of those ideas, not resort to school-yard insults.
Sorry how could I not have known you were defining other people’s arguments for them. It’s like I wasn’t paying attention to how you were acting this whole time.
I should have made that my criticism in the comment I wrote you nine minutes ago
It is relevant, though. They’re geopolitically aligned with China and are the junior partner. It’s ridiculous to think that they’re the biggest threat to world peace
🙄 I’m not any kind of liberal, I’m just not so black and white in my thinking that I believe Russia poses any kind of opposition to the global capitalist oligarchy (because they themselves are a capitalist oligarchy).
The fact of the matter is that both Russia and the US are working to further the aims of the billionaire technocracy that rules our planet, and I therefore consider shilling for either regime (or for the EU) to be despicable behaviour.
You guys consider yourselves communists but give support to capitalist states. Do better.
You can’t tell me what to do, liberal (or person who got fooled by liberals into thinking all communists are demagogues and actively ignores evidence to the contrary).
Russia is self-interested in opposing the imperialist system dominated by the US. It isn’t ideologically aligned with socialism, but it is practically aligned with socialists in overthrowing imperialism. The Russian bourgeoisie is nationalist, not imperialist, as there simply isn’t space for Russia to colonize as the west has the entire imperialized world under its thumb.
Capitalism and imperialism are essentially the same thing, lack of opportunity for imperialist projects is in no way evidence of opposition to imperialism. If you believe the elites in Russia have any ideological objections to imperialism then I have a bridge to sell you.
Nationalism (like all populist ideologies) exists purely as a means of controlling the masses, the oligarchs who control every capitalist state are interested only in how much money/power they are personally able to amass.

They aren’t ideologically aligned (at least for the most part), but they’re geopolitically aligned by circumstance.

So you’re too stupid to know what the argument you’re facing is and you’re too childish to listen
I’m the one who’s comment is being replied to, so I’m the one that defined the argument. You’ve got some nerve calling other people stupid 😂
Always the No U and the seething emoji
What does that even mean?

So what?
I’ve spelled it out twice now, if you honestly still don’t understand I don’t think there’s anything I can say that will make it clear to you…
No, I don’t understand, because I’m not a demagogue. I know for a fact that most liberals think we’re all demagogues.
Guess where they got it from: the liberals themselves made it up to smear us.
You fell for your own propaganda. You can’t successfully talk to us because you operate off of flawed assumptions.
You played yourself.

Can you demonstrate any point at which I have promoted liberalism, or any comment in which I have suggested that all communists are demagogues?

So what? They’re ideologically aligned in being opposed to the Great Satan
