It’s lemmygrad, we’re the spectre. I’d bet at least half of the other instances out there block us, there’s only like 300 dedicated users on this instance, and they still can’t stop complaining about lemmygrad/tankies

    We are not “Pro-Russia”, this is a bad faith label that is used to smear us. We SUPPORT Russia in the current conflict against Nato and the west. Which is what any principled anti-imperialist would do.

      So just to wrap my head around this, the anti-imperialists are the ones who have invaded a sovereign country twice in 8 years?

        The anti imperialists are the ones preventing the expansion of the organization that attacked Iraq, took part in several conflicts in former Yugoslavia, invaded Afghanistan, attacked Iraq again and then Libya.

        All while expanding to 15 countries in the last 30 years. That is the imperialism we are opposing.

          So the anti-imperialists are the ones who invaded twice and annexed Chechnya, rolled tanks into Georgia, invaded Luhansk, Donetsk and Crimea in a blatant land grab, levelled Syrian cities (which is ongoing btw) and used chemical weapons on civilians, aggressively pursued Russian interests in Mali, Libya and Sudan with the Wagner group, and started a full scale invasion of Ukraine which is ongoing… and they’re the good guys?

          It’s wild that you can look at them and say yeah, russia are the good guys in this whole thing lol. There’s a reason why countries want to be in NATO in 2023 and that reason is Russia.

            You did not just compare Russia preventing a Jihadist breakaway state from forming in their country to the US destroying Iraq for made up reasons and creating the catalyst for all modern Islamist terrorism, Jesus fucking Christ.

            Read Lenin FFS. It would prevent you from spewing such obvious falsehoods about the nature of imperialism.

        Ukraine serves the imperialists and was being used to house Statesian weaponry and military. That alone would justify removing them as NATO and the western imperialists represent an existential threat to both Russia and the international working class.

          Ukraine is fighting an existential war against a country that NATO was formed to defend against. Are you seriously suggesting that not defending your territory from a very literal and an extensively documented attempt at genocide is the only valid option in your world view? Because holy fuck guy.

            NATO was created to defend imperialist interests in impoverished nations. As I said, read fucking Lenin before you spew obviously unresearched statements about the war.

            Lmao “genocide” I am begging liberals to realize that words mean things.

            The Russian Federation did intervene in Ukraine’s attempted genocide of ethnic russians in the Donbas though, which makes your cute little strawman up there particularly ironic

      Anti-imperialists that support the country trying to revive their imperial past.
