  Not a single person says the Russian Federation is socialism. You’re confusing people critically supporting its movements against the US Empire with people believing it to be socialist. They do have rising socialist sympathies among the populace, but that doesn’t make them socialist.

  I’m saying it’s wild you promote it as AES when it fucking isn’t.

  And I’m saying no one considers Russia to be AES, it’s a strawman that libs tell each other about us until they forget they made it up.

    Actually you’re right, I misspoke. The comment said that modern Russia isn’t anywhere near USSR ideals, to which I said makes it even more baffling that tankies support it. A

    So yes, it’s not AES, which makes it obvious that tankies supporting Russia are anti-us campists and not anti imperialists.

      By that logic, you don’t even need to know my stance on Russia, because the fact that I opposed the war in Afghanistan “proves I’m not anti-imperialist.” The Taliban definitely isn’t socialist either, after all.
