“Please, Russians, don’t wish Communism back. We’d lose our privileges.” is the energy that type of article gives me.
“We’d lose our privileges”
Motherfucker, the collapse of the USSR literally caused one of the greatest peacetime humanitarian crises. Children were going into prostitution to survive, and oligarchs were selling the country out and robbing it blind.
If anything, people under socialism had more privileges than they did under the contemporary Russian government, and especially than under 90’s Russia.
Those who sponsor the article would lose their privileges
I would say it was the biggest peacetime crisis since fucking Black Death. It says absolutely everything about capitalism when the bar is that low.
Are they fucking stupid? Lenin’s “no nation can be ever free if it opresses another nation” is one of the (many) hits he had. And guess what two nations he gave as examples? Of course Russians opressing everyone else in Russian Empire and English opressing Irish.
And this is exactly what happened on Ukraine, their fucking nazis just couldn’t stop opressing Donbass.
Yeah the irony is lost on them, they don’t even have a leg to stand on with their propaganda.
RT is so weird, it’s like peak “freeze peach,” you’ll find the worst people who have probably been on infowars a couple of times, next to genuine anti-imperialists who had difficulty finding a platform other places.
Russia is currently anti-imperialist due to their circumstances, not because of state ideology. It only makes sense their news media would reflect that.
I like some of their coverage but they really need to leave queer people alone, the thinly veiled hate is so obvious
I think RT and maybe Russia in general is perhaps best looked at as simply being “anti-centrist” and pulling a mix of arguments from both the left and right.
Fuxk RT
A casual reminder of who runs Russia now, despite all their glamoring over their country’s Soviet heritage when it’s convenient.
Ahaha, right. That shit became a meme among Russian communists.
