They don’t. I’m a communist. I’ve had to purge my social media, including avowed communists on tiktok, over how they’ve went full mask off with regurgitating fascist Russian propaganda.
The reality is that a lot of people are just not that clever. They are contrarians. That is why the US invading Iraq is bad, but Russia invading Ukraine is good. That’s why the US has blood on its hands for the genocide of Native Americans, but not the Russian Federation for steps of equal or greater measure.
The reality is that a lot of creators put a mask on. They are personalities. Sometimes it slips off. Infighting has always been a problem in communism. We are so easy to divide, and the most violent and genocidal tended to seize control of movements in history. Because we fight each other instead of them.

Holy shit, this and all the spontaneous “USA bad Russia/China did nothing wrong” bullshit is so unbelievable. And they all assume everyone who disagrees lives in the US for some reason LOL
If I tallied the amount of times I’ve seen tankies on this site vs number of times I’ve seen someone freaked out about them it would be something like 0/200 and it’s been like a day.
I have no clue how that’s possible considering how the Ukraine war has caused their apologia to crawl out of the woodwork.
Do you think it’s possible they only exist in right wing spaces in order to incite outrage and justify the rights views on socialism/communism.

Is lemmy.ml, hexbear and lemmygrad a right wing space?

Okay? But the people we’re talking about think Ukraine should be invaded by Russia.

Take a trip to Lemmygrad, Hexbear, or Lemmy.ml sometime - or put a pro-Ukraine post somewhere in the Fediverse and let them come to you.
