    More like authoritarian. If you were a communist you'd care about the people in Russia, not the government. If you are a communist, you're a pretty shit one.

    From? Yes. What does that have to do with anything? It's about what you agree with, not where you're from, right?

    Also, again, whataboutism. You can't defend yourself, so you go on offense. Why don't you care about the people? You're a pretty poor communist if you can have comrades in oppressive places, and only defend authoritarian governments who abuse their citizens.

    Am I supposed to believe your crocodile tears for the poor Russian people? LOL

    No. You're supposed to care. That's the fucking point. You're strawmaning, because you're an asshole who doesn't care about the people, which is explicitly not what a communist would do.

    Despite being political enemies they understand that the coup and NATO expansion with nukes in ukraine is unacceptable.

    Yeah... About that. Ukraine used to have nukes (from when they were a member of the USSR, you might recall). They gave them up to Russia for promises, which weren't kept. It's unacceptable for them to have them? Why? Why can Russia? Why did they give them up?

    This argument is complete bullshit. They aren't going to be given nukes, but even if this were the case, the argument that they shouldn't have them is ridiculous, when they were given to Russia and Russia uses nukes to bully them and other nations. Either it's not OK for Russia to have them either or it is OK for Ukraine to (or you have an opinion based in bias, not logic).

    And also you would rather continue this lost war to the last poor ukrainian too, as Lindsey Graham wants.

    No. I want Russia to return to its own territory. They should end it. It's in their power, but the elites are using the people for political gain (like always). You're class awareness is really fucking bad.

    The communist party, despite being opposition to Putin is not forbidden in Russia.

    Sure. There aren't fair elections they could win though. Them being not explicitly banned doesn't mean shit. They're implicitly banned.

    Free and democratic ukraine banned no less than 11 parties.
    Put union leaders in jail, etc..

    More whataboutism. Why are you discussing Ukraine here? This is about Russia. You can't put up a legitimate communist argunent for what they're doing, so you just say "what about Ukraine!"

    my man, being consistent isn't what's important for members of the far-right like /u/Bloomcole , /u/npdean, and /u/bubblybubbles it's about 'winning', from these nothing internet arguments to finally living in a slave-state; everything coming from their mouth-holes or dripping from their ichor crusted fingers are just magic words meant to get there, and sucker in all the well-meaning idiots on the sidelines

    Wow, you aren't even pretending to be a communist now. Well, at least the mask has fallen.

    I love the emotional 'you should care' BS.

    To be clear though, this isn't an emotional ploy. This is what a communist would do. They care about the people being used by those in power, no matter where they are. Again, you seem to have absolutely zero class consciousness. You use the term communist to describe yourself as a badge of honor, not as an actual descriptor. You aren't a communist.

    Cool comment. None of it matters.

    They will fail again and Russia (even if not communist) will deal with them again.

    Well, at least you agree with that. Damn. A bunch of "what about", strawmaning, and no true scotsman in there just for you to finally agree anyway.

    I have never said I support the US by the way. You're just trying to tie me to that so you don't have to defend yourself, because you still haven't. You're not a fucking communist. You're a russophile authoritarian. Anything Russia does you approve of. It doesn't matter how much the bourgeoisie use and abuse the proletariat. It's fine as long as it's Russia.

    I don't know if you're playing dumb or actually dumb, but no true scotsman is a logical fallacy, where you say someone isn't a true [thing] because they don't meet ever precise definitions you make up.

    Also, you do realize Scotland is part of the UK, right?

    Anyway, this is all just you trying to distract from the fact that you can't defend the actions of Russia, or your starting position. You have to constantly shift things and hope people forget. You aren't a communist if you support the bourgeoisie using the proletariat for stupid self-centered goals. It doesn't matter where we're from. The proletariat everywhere is being used and abused by the elite. A communist would know this. It doesn't matter if you're in Russia or the US. They're using us for their own gain, and they don't care about us.

    Fair point, it's probably skewed more towards women once you consider how many of the men march off to the meat grinder for a failed dream that died 30 years ago.

    Are you ready to watch the soviet union split apart a second time?

    I don't know anything about this person, and I'll say Fascists are drawn towards the military, because it let's them have the ultimate power over others. This happens everywhere. However, those aren't Nazi swastikas. They are swastikas, but I don't know they're meaning. They're common symbols all over the world (literally, from everywhere in Africa and Eurasia to the Americas). I don't know what these ones are, except for not being the ones the Nazis used. Is it still a reference to that? Idk. I think if you want Nazi swastikas you just get them though. I don't think getting a slightly different swastika to still show your support of Nazism is a great idea. If there's other info than just his tattoos, feel free to share.

    Yeah, because I'm the one lacking intelligence because I can tell the difference between curved and straight arms and clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation in a swastika.

    Nazis had one swastika they tended to use, and this isn't it. It has been a symbol for all kinds of things throughout the world in this form though.

    I case you actually are interested in learning, here's a wiki page on it, which does include it's use by Nazis, explicitly not in this style. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

    Again, I don't know who this is. If you want to provide actual evidence then fine, but this image doesn't prove anything. It provides further evidence if you have any, but it isn't worth anything in it's own.
