    They aren’t ideologically aligned (at least for the most part), but they’re geopolitically aligned by circumstance.

      Sure, but that’s basically irrelevant to the point being made in OP’s memes.

      Also, there is no ‘for the most part’. Geopolitical alliances notwithstanding, they are in no way ideologically aligned: I’ll say it once more for the people with their fingers in their ears, “Russia is not a socialist state, and hasn’t been for over three decades!”

        It is relevant, though. They’re geopolitically aligned with China and are the junior partner. It’s ridiculous to think that they’re the biggest threat to world peace

          I’ve spelled it out twice now, if you honestly still don’t understand I don’t think there’s anything I can say that will make it clear to you…

            No, I don’t understand, because I’m not a demagogue. I know for a fact that most liberals think we’re all demagogues.

            Guess where they got it from: the liberals themselves made it up to smear us.

            You fell for your own propaganda. You can’t successfully talk to us because you operate off of flawed assumptions.

            You played yourself.

              🙄 I’m not any kind of liberal, I’m just not so black and white in my thinking that I believe Russia poses any kind of opposition to the global capitalist oligarchy (because they themselves are a capitalist oligarchy).

              The fact of the matter is that both Russia and the US are working to further the aims of the billionaire technocracy that rules our planet, and I therefore consider shilling for either regime (or for the EU) to be despicable behaviour.

              You guys consider yourselves communists but give support to capitalist states. Do better.

                You can’t tell me what to do, liberal (or person who got fooled by liberals into thinking all communists are demagogues and actively ignores evidence to the contrary).

                  Can you demonstrate any point at which I have promoted liberalism, or any comment in which I have suggested that all communists are demagogues?

                    You seem to believe that communists are forbidden from supporting non-communist things. (I’m not sure demagogue was the right word choice for this. Maybe dogmatist or cultist fits better)

                    Not only that, you demand communists to stop supporting all non-communist things. Both of these things show your complete maleducation regarding communism.

                    You say you are not a liberal, okay, so you are

                    a person who got fooled by liberals into thinking all communists are (people who are forbidden from supporting non-communist things), and actively ignores evidence to the contrary

                    And, riddle me this, why would we ever give in to demands from a person who doesn’t want to understand us and has exactly zero leverage over us???

        So you’re too stupid to know what the argument you’re facing is and you’re too childish to listen

          I’m the one who’s comment is being replied to, so I’m the one that defined the argument. You’ve got some nerve calling other people stupid 😂

            Sorry how could I not have known you were defining other people’s arguments for them. It’s like I wasn’t paying attention to how you were acting this whole time.

            I should have made that my criticism in the comment I wrote you nine minutes ago

                Fyi, playing dumb after getting owned is a quintessential liberal move.

                  Owned? Oh, I get it, you’re a literal child.

                  Your friend referenced emojis I’ve never even heard of as thought that somehow rebutted any of my points, which is not how you do discourse. If you want people to take your ideas seriously you need to demonstrate an understanding of those ideas, not resort to school-yard insults.

                    Dude you’re running through every defensive loser move to try to position yourself in your own mind as anything other than a person whose stupid ideas just got rejected.
