Really funny too because it was the USSR that gave them their independence.

Isn’t it weird how we’ve collectively gone back in time 50 years to the Cold War? It’s become more and more common to hear libs and conservative call each other commies, the Hammer and Sickle are being banned, and Capitalists talk about the Russian Federation like it’s the actual Soviet Union.

also isn’t it weird how communism is to blame for every problem in this society created by a hegemonic capitalist system?

Turns out class conflict is a real thing that emerges from material conditions and not just something the Soviets made up.

Yeah the soviets sure had it all figured out that’s why the USSR was falling apart rapidly

Wait, what!? You’re telling me the USSR collapsed? This changes everything!

We know. If you’re curious about hearing Marxist-Leninist analysis of it, Blackshirts and Reds has a whole chapter devoted to criticizing it and analyzing what went wrong. Despite the “tankie” stereotype, pretty much no communist thinks that the USSR was flawless, because if it was it’d still be around.

pretty funny in its own way that the fall of the soviet union didn’t end the cold war

I’d argue we are going as far back as the 1920s, with the global economy on the verge of imploding, socialism becoming popular in western nations, and the increasing tolerance of fascism (even nazism) and anti-communism reaching dangerous levels.

One day very soon, something is going to wake people up to the reality that they’ve been so scared by Russia and China that they’ve opened the door for a new Nazi regime.

Given how much people been scared? They’ll still say it’s a lesser evil. They said that after WW2, when US was prancing around Europe, bringing back fascists to power. They said that after 1991. They are saying it right now about Ukraine and Baltics.

What a joke. The government consisting of neoliberals and nazis banning communist symbols, when the communist parties of Finland get like 0,1 % of the total vote every single election. Stalin should not have stopped at Tali-Ihantala.
