    Can someone explain to this european from a former soviet block why tankies think Russia is aligned with their worldview?

    I mean, soviet union about 60s maybe still was, but after that, and especially after the fall of USSR it’s a mafia-ran state, not a socialist paradise.

    What is going on?

        This is it exactly. There is absolutely zero room for nuance in the tankie brain.

      They’re fucking idiots.

      The soviet union has been on the side of the left and communism for about minutes before Lenin and friends decided that worker power would threaten their power too much.
