    That’s the authoritarian left, not the far left. Tankies would very much like you to think like they do and fight for the glory of China/Russia/North Korea.

      russians are not very left lately. more like very-very-very far right. it doesn’t matter though because these guys are wackjobs with no real ideology.

          Not really, when you realize that tankies are fundamentally authoritarian.

          Bit like how 1984 was banned in the US for being pro communist and banned in the USSR for being pro capitalist, when in reality, it’s anti-authoritarian.

        The vocal minority sure is. I’m guessing a large majority are keeping their heads down and hoping they don’t get drafted.

          or they are complacent. if these folks really disliked their precious regime - it would’ve been long gone. but it is not. that’s probably means something.

                Americans have entirely surrendered to trump, Europe is entirely surrendering to government surveillance via chat control, ME is basically just warlords and Israel freely bombing whoever they want.

                Everyone is complacent.
