    90% of their posts are pro-Putin

    Decide for yourself whether or not they are reliable and/or propaganda

      This putin guy lives rent-free in your head. No rent, means no middle-men leeching off you, which is unamerican, therefore you’re actually pro-putin!

        Here i thought “ml” was a Marxist-Leninist instance. Yet it seems people support the decidedly pro-capitalist anti-Bolshevik Putin just because he’s the leader of Russia

        Wild times for Communism

          MLs tend to critically support the Russian Federation not because it’s a former socialist state, but because of the progressive role Russia plays in undermining the western empire. Russia has been an ally to Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran, and is in general interested in a world where the US Empire isn’t constantly boxxing it in and sanctioning it. This anti-imperialism isn’t necessarily because Russians are more morally pure or anything, but out of definite relations to imperialism.
