You wouldn’t think of a European community of being so insanely pro Russia, yet on every single post mentioning Russia, any negative comments about Russia or their government will get downvoted to hell, some people get banned. I would not be surprised if I am banned or downvoted for posting this. People who are not just blatantly spamming Kremlin propaganda, please say why you are so pro Russia, to someone confused.
Communists critically support the Russian Federation, supporting it’s anti-imperialist role and strong allyship with socialist states, while seeking a return to socialism. Communists also support Palestine, Iran, etc, and these aren’t socialist either.

I think you need to re-center yourself on which community we are talking about. OP is talking about Lemmy.ml, not the general western public. We need to understand this based on the audience, and Lemmy.ml is largely communist.

Can you explain why a communist wouldn’t critically support the Russian Federation in resisting imperialism, similar to why communists critically support Iran and support Palestine? Communists do not take a neutral stance on everything except for when socialists are directly involved, we take stances based on how they advance or hurt the global movement towards socialism.

Largely aligned. Can you actually answer my question?

None of this answers my question, and instead is just an excuse not to. Russia isn’t imperialist, you state it like the very statement itself is proof. Either way, though, by your logic that communists can only support communists, we should not support Iran nor Hamas. Do you agree with that, or are you of the belief that Iran and Hamas are communist?
Communists support and critically support that which helps the socialist movement.
Oh god thank you for saying that, we really need someone to teach us. Thank you white saviour.
oh god, now i see the error of my ways. thank you, my white saviour, for saving me from sin
If the moron is some kind of christian missionary I think is less worse for me, like is his job his mission to be this type of garbage but a normal person having this white saviour mentally in 2026 holy fuck. And I not even particularly interested in the absurd amount of ableism language they used, superiority complex is a giving at this point.
You keep asserting this without evidence, despite the fact that we’ve explained the nature of and the limits to our support for Russia at this conjuncture.

This “twisted” version of communism is the predominant version globally, namely Marxism-Leninism.
