Communists shouldn't defend the Russian Federation. Yet for inexplicable reasons, many self-proclaimed communists online do so. Typically they're tankies with all sorts of other problematic opinions.
I have literally never seen it.
I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it doesn't happen in the places I frequent - and I frequent a LOT of Leftist communities.
Edit: People are pointing to the Tankies Lemmy community. The place designed for tankies. I'm not arguing they don't exist. I'm aruing against the people saying they're all over the place and pervasive in other communities and that they're not a commonality and not the usual communist/socialist.
Pointing to the Tankies communities doesn't change anything I've said.
I have no clue how that's possible considering how the Ukraine war has caused their apologia to crawl out of the woodwork.
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.
