    @PugJesus "putin is communist" this iceberg is a puddle because imperialism genuinely is too lazy to even come up with the good stuff. it's just "we are just like the guys from before but less gay/Jewish/nazi/atheist/communist. russia has no culture so it's bizzare making "icebergs" around it. it's just "secretly we are the better ones" all the way down with no fucking surprises but how low they can fall in their "cultural" reactionism to their own bullshit

    I'm afraid I don't quite understand this comment?

    This meme is making fun of tankies more generally; them siding with Putin and Russia is just one more aspect of their bizarre ideas that those 'deep enough' into tankie ideology get wrapped up in.

    ML were never communist. Putin is no less communist than they were. The whole point of the meme is pointing out their ridiculousness. Not an accurate representation of reality or actual ideology.

    And no one is extolling the virtues of imperialism. Again that's kind of the point of the meme. This Soviets were, and Russia is imperialistic in their own right. As is China. "Imperialism" has honestly just become a lopsided bullshit deflection technique. The problem isn't the wests imperialism. It's everyone's.
