      Afonin and Parfenov seem pretty decent, according to the Russkies, but this one is a suicide mission. Everyone knows it, The most they can hope to get out of this election is to push Putin towards a more nationalized economy away from liberalism.

        As much as it disgusts me, I blame NATOids attempting to use my lust for cock as a weapon. Nobody can actually stop anime online LGBT brainwashing, they can only delay this.

      Yo this is the party of Lenin we’re talking about here. It’s also the most powerful communist party in today’s Europe, holding a double digit percentage of seats in the duma of Europe’s most populous country. I wish them well in the upcoming elections.

        People here will dismiss all post-soviet communist parties as “nostalgic boomers” but then tell us to join CPUSA lmao. Why is it OK for us to have imperfect revisionist parties we need to whip into shape, but not for other nations to? Why is the pro-DNC revisionism more acceptable than the pro-Putin revisionism when the DNC is actually a more fascist, genocidal, neoliberal and imperialist body than Putin’s administration?

          CPUSA is controlled by feds and should not be joined, but let’s not pretend aesthetic communism doesn’t hold its capital in Russia (if someone says China istg), though simultaneously it is also more populated by real communists than many other states and this guy specifically seems pretty decent.

          We’ve got like one prominent poster who is CPUSA and the rules unfortunately dictate being nice to them (I forget their preferred pronouns) for some reason, but don’t mistake that for anyone else liking CPUSA. Most people here seem to dislike PCUSA and it’s still distinctly more credible than its forebear.

          Russian politics were literally cursed by a witch. If you talk about them you will wither away to a tiny locust by the age of 80 and die from being vored by a crow.

            Just seems like the “russia bad” veneer is very effective among westerners still, and everything Russian is automatically downgraded one level of “basedness” in their minds. An extremely disciplined, successful and principled communist party would be seen as mid. A mid revisionist party would be seen as evil. Whereas in the USA, the mid revisionist parties all get the benefit of the doubt and are not considered evil nazbols automatically.

              If you’re still referring to the CPUSA, most people around here seem to take a pretty dim view of them, at best, so idk how much “benefit of the doubt” they’re getting.

        Its clearly nationalist pandering for the future election, but i have a soft spot for the return of soviet iconography so im willing to be positive

        although there has been a large trend in the past few years at co-opting Stalin and other such socialist peoples for the purpose of nationalism in Russia. but due to its communist nature it could swing either way.

        russian politics is extremely cursed

        Baseless in what way? They’re the self described continuation of Gorbachev’s CPSU, which most MLs rightly criticize for a ton of reasons. They have an ossified aging leadership that refuses to bend to the more radical youth of the party and instead pushes milquetoast parliamentary “communism” to stagnant electoral results. The same social democratic dead end we’ve seen a hundred times already.

        Read “Khrushev lied”, like the entire secret speech was a lie including some straight up in their face lies which people listening to know has been lies because some of them been there and witnessed, like the ones about Beria or Sergo or Yezhov, but he prepared everything just like he accused Stalin of doing and purged entire opposition.

        His whole fucking career as head honcho was just sabotaging the legacy of Stalin and doing revisionism. The good military moves were secondary.

    This will most likely be as (un)successful as the KPRF’s attempt to readopt the Soviet flag as the national flag. Don’t get your hopes up, they are not going to restore the Soviet Union by slowly “voting in” communist symbolism.

    I suspect this guy is another post-East Bloc boomer who’s nostalgic for the USSR more out of nationalist pride than genuine socialism, but the fact he said Leningrad instead of Stalingrad gives me mild hope. Weirdo Russian NatBols trend to be pure Stalin Stans while repeating that “Lenin was a German spy” BS.

      Everything I don’t like is Nazbol

      Could they simply be boring revisionist Soviets akin to Khrushchev (still a huge upgrade from any Liberal party)? No, they are secret Nazis!
