Red scare never really went away. Russia is a capitalistic country.
This is offensive. Trump is the opposite of what that symbol represents.
I think it’s been too corrupted by misuse, kind of like the swastika.
Well, what’s the symbol of modern communism? A smartphone and a vibrator? The pride flag?
Nice, you added bunch of shit that don’t have anything to do with each other. Nice post bro
The USSR collapsed more than 30 years ago. Modern day Russia has nothing to do with communism at all.
It is closer to its Czarist imperial roots than it is to the the USSR. You would be more accurate using the Russian Imperial Eagle
They literally revived the old imperial symbol when the Russian federation was created.
I mean tbf they also make use of soviet iconography to just as much of a degree, they have a weird obsession with synchrotizing soviet aesthetics with Imperial Russian aesthetics in what can only be described as “grievance culture chique”
Fascists always talk about returning to some former greatness. If the greater past was communist, thousands of years ago or a fairy tale does not matter as much.
From what my Russian friends told me: Putin is a neo czarist. He has been preaching the “evils of western influences” for 30 years and trying to revive the Russian Empire. “As Marxism is a German ideology and was imported by the Germans to cause the Russian Empire to implode into civil war and close the western front in WWI to destabilize the Russian Empire it is inherently flawed and evil” : the “mighty Russian” people endured “western Marxism” and are still proud of their cultural symbolism from that time period as they made the art not the “evil westerners who tricked them into attempting communism”.

Putin was trained by the KGB.
If he was a communist and had control of Russia than Russia wouldn’t be the way it was.
It may surprise you that some capitalism supporters got into power in the soviet union before Yeltsin ordered the parliament to be bombarded with tanks, dissolving the socialist democracy and bringing about capitalism in former soviet states.
So we agree. Putin was trained by the Soviet KGB.
Yes, but we disagree on whether that makes him a communist. He is a leader of a very capitalist country.
