    I’m a Marxist, sure, very openly so. I don’t really think anyone cares about who you’ve sniffed out to be a commie or not, especially considering I have it plastered all over my profile and frequently outright state it. I wouldn’t say “pro-Russian,” either, the Russian Federation is deeply flawed and has tragically fallen from their far more progressive Soviet heritage.

    I’m very anti-NATO, like the vast majority of Marxists, and I don’t fall for the hysteria around the Russian Federation as some ultimate evil, though, so if that’s all it takes to be “pro-Russian” for you then that’s funny.

      So, you’re pro Russian, but smart enough to not outright say it. Because they certainly do a lot of evil stuff.

        Being anti-NATO and not falling for the current hysteria that overplays the negative aspects of the RF and underplays the negative aspects of NATO-aligned countries is being “pro-Russian?” I’m far more willing to say I’m pro-PRC, or pro-Cuba, than I would be to say I’m pro-Russian, but I do understand that a lot of countries I support, like Burkina Faso, do rely quite a bit on the RF, and if the RF fell, the west would have a much stronger position in terrorizing the global south.
