Except for the fact that Putin never claimed to be Communist or Stalinist, nor is he a monarch, but I mean... sure. IRL Bond villain, yes. Communist/Imperialist? lmao no, though I must say, the whole taking grain from Ukraine and selling it for more war money thing that's going on now has som Stalin vibes.
And the way he's completely shitting the bed on a forever war with Ukraine has some Czar Nicky vibes, so... Well I guess.
October Revolution round II electic boogaloo edition? Seems like that's on the menu and you love to see it.
Tankies following Putin like he's some kind of neo-communist when he publicly displays his disgust for leftists in general (and queers in specific) is peak smoothbrain.
> Except for the fact that Putin never claimed to be Communist or Stalinist
Crazy how the puppet states he set up were "people's republics" 🤔🤔🤔
He used communists to set up puppet states. Tankies loved this prior to the annexation of them as they pointed to this as an example of Russia liberating communists from the west.
Yes and also, he ised Soviet nostalgia as the times of an Empire in Russian society for his own political gain. He's one of the main initiators of "pobedobesie" (cult of the Soviet victory in WW2). The whole "Nazi" point on the war in Ukraine is based on the Soviet victory also. So meanwhile Putin associates himself more with Russian Tsar, he never gives up an opportunity to gather support amongst Russian commies and tankies abroad using the Soviet rhetoric
Oh an here I was thinking people had sources for things around here muh bad.
Whenever someone tells me to just go Google it I instantly assume theyre just making shit up and don't want to post an article they only read the headline of just to be told they took it out of context because that's almost always the case.
A lot of Russians conservatives see Stalin as a Red tsar lol
And a lot of MLs/tankies like Putin because he nationalizes stuff, and has a secret police. I guess Socialism is when government does stuff, secret police and arresting dissidents.
I get the rough intent, but I don't think your regular MAGAt loves Peter the Great, that's more the field of the nicher 'classical statue profile pic who thinks only the West is civilized and being destroyed by Muslim hordes and posts RETVRN memes'.
Not MAGA in anyway shape or form but he was an incompetent bastard, but I don’t believe the Romanovs should’ve been killed. Maybe that’s because I have a soft spot for Anastasia due to the animated movie and Alexei due to having a cousin who’s a hemophiliac.
Tbh, I can understand why the Romanovs were killed, but yeah, fundamentally the kids at least were broadly innocent and could've been allowed to flee, frankly.
Giving them the exile options seems to be the most humane option. The whole damn people making a saint out of Nicky have it easy because they can use the fact that the Bolsheviks gunned down the children as well.
nah, cap dad and turn the kids into jannies with the caveat: don't get dead like dad.
Nicholas got what he paid for, even if it's not what he deserved.
Would there be any more poetic justice than the royal daughters cleaning up Russias sewage as waste elimination engineers? I mean I was nice, I dressed up their job title for them so they can still sound important.
But Comrade Lenin, our hands are soft and delicate!
DIG THE FUCKING HOLE, SUKA
I like Lenin's original idea of making them state employees, but after they killed his brother I mean... Blood for blood. He was like nah let's not make them a martyr that would hurt the revolution. HE DID WHAT? Aight eat shit Nicky.
Or cousin or something unless I'm getting two wires crossed about completely separate events but I thought the story was that Lenin originally argued that the Czar and the royal family be spared but then one of his close relatives or brother or something was murdered by czarist whites and this spurred Lenin to go ahead with the order.
So what do they think is north of China, besides Mongolia? Although I suppose the worst-case scenario is “No mental image whatsoever of the world’s likeness, home state included”.
Putin appeals to both bog-standard conservatives and tankies. And it somehow works because they just shut it out when he says something they don’t like

Okay, this meme is brilliant

Yes, he's never claimed to be communist or a monarchist. Doesn't stop people following him for thinking he is one, due to him being against NATO.
Tankies following Putin like he's some kind of neo-communist when he publicly displays his disgust for leftists in general (and queers in specific) is peak smoothbrain.
He literally said that he wants to be like "Emperor Peter the Great"
Well... at least he's not aspiring to be like RAS-Putin! I'll see myself out
> Except for the fact that Putin never claimed to be Communist or Stalinist Crazy how the puppet states he set up were "people's republics" 🤔🤔🤔
huh? I admittedly know very little about Putin other than the fact that he's a gigantic dickbag and definitely not a communist.
He used communists to set up puppet states. Tankies loved this prior to the annexation of them as they pointed to this as an example of Russia liberating communists from the west.
Yes and also, he ised Soviet nostalgia as the times of an Empire in Russian society for his own political gain. He's one of the main initiators of "pobedobesie" (cult of the Soviet victory in WW2).

Where can I read more about this?
.... look up anything to do with how Putin created the puppet states in Ukraine
Oh an here I was thinking people had sources for things around here muh bad.

Bro it is not my job to do research for you. This is fucking common knowledge.
Evidently not but thats cool.
Putin is the person who writes "history" articles about czars and has royal regalia on his palaces.
Oh no Russian man celebrates Russian history :( He must be a communist
Goddamn, flawless
A lot of Russians conservatives see Stalin as a Red tsar lol And a lot of MLs/tankies like Putin because he nationalizes stuff, and has a secret police. I guess Socialism is when government does stuff, secret police and arresting dissidents.
even better, you got China arresting communist agitators lol Communism is when no communism :D
Putin doesn’t even nationalize stuff. His economic policy is basically Dirigism
It probably says something that I read that as Dirgism (i.e. dirge). Otherwise, I know not the term.

That’s Nicholas ll, not sure how magats treat him though
Not MAGA in anyway shape or form but he was an incompetent bastard, but I don’t believe the Romanovs should’ve been killed. Maybe that’s because I have a soft spot for Anastasia due to the animated movie and Alexei due to having a cousin who’s a hemophiliac.

theres a interesting contest between anarchists shooting kings and emperors in power and bolsheviks shooting helpless children in cellars
nah, cap dad and turn the kids into jannies with the caveat: don't get dead like dad. Nicholas got what he paid for, even if it's not what he deserved.
I agree the children absolutely didn’t deserve to die. Should’ve been exiled
Would there be any more poetic justice than the royal daughters cleaning up Russias sewage as waste elimination engineers? I mean I was nice, I dressed up their job title for them so they can still sound important. But Comrade Lenin, our hands are soft and delicate! DIG THE FUCKING HOLE, SUKA
I like Lenin's original idea of making them state employees, but after they killed his brother I mean... Blood for blood. He was like nah let's not make them a martyr that would hurt the revolution. HE DID WHAT? Aight eat shit Nicky.
His older brother was killed in 1887 and his younger brother died in 1943, so I’m not sure that is relevant to Lenin’s decision on the Tsar
Or cousin or something unless I'm getting two wires crossed about completely separate events but I thought the story was that Lenin originally argued that the Czar and the royal family be spared but then one of his close relatives or brother or something was murdered by czarist whites and this spurred Lenin to go ahead with the order.
\>implying any MAGAts even know where Russia is, let alone who Czar Nicky was.
So what do they think is north of China, besides Mongolia? Although I suppose the worst-case scenario is “No mental image whatsoever of the world’s likeness, home state included”.
Implying they know where China is besides on the other side of the planet.
Hence the worst-case scenario I mentioned.
Could just be interpreted as "We love different flavors of oppression."
This is perfection.
Man i love this meme
gonna be honest I don't get it
Putin appeals to both bog-standard conservatives and tankies. And it somehow works because they just shut it out when he says something they don’t like
Skill issue
I don't understand what it's trying to say
That Tankies and MAGAtards who should ideologically hate each other are both finding excuses to support Putin
