      I think that’s more a fault of the meme being overly simplified, nobody thinks Russia is Leftist, but that for its own selfish interests it must work against the US for now. That’s one problem with OP’s memes, many times they are overly simplified and thus get across incorrect messages, which causes agitprop to backfire. Sadly, Russia is no longer Socialist, and nobody knows this better than Marxists, along with the sheer level of tragedy its fall has been for the former Soviets and humanity in general.

    Definitely not how I’d want my commune to be structured, but to each their own. I just hope that’s what the people who live there really want.

      In Russia? Eh. The majority preferred the Soviet system, by quite a large margin. In China? Harvard studies suggest an over 95% approval rate for the CPC, so while this certainly could change, the populace generally supports the current system to a much greater degree than Capitalist countries.

    i like to think that i’m plugged into lemmy; but then these insider joke posts keeping popping and i’m so confused.

    if it weren’t for the intense level of brigading; it probably wouldn’t have been aware that there was any controversy at all.
