Yes, seriously. I grew up under communism in USSR, and I also lived through the utter hell of the 90s and I'll never forget that. My family was lucky to end up in Canada eventually, but we suffered greatly under liberalisation just like everyone else did.
I love how all libs like you know how to do is sling personal insults and grandstand. You are a truly morally bankrupt bunch. I have nothing else to say to you. It's a good thing your heinous ideology is dying out in Russia.
The ideology that leads you to support people like Navalny who openly advocate violence against minorities and immigrants. Actual communism continues to be popular with a lot of people in Russia, but of course anarchists will fight it tooth and nail while supporting people like Navalny.
Also, nowhere did I say I like what happened to Russia after communism was overthrown. Everything that happened after is an ongoing tragedy. However, at least there's a possibility to move towards a system like China after Putin is gone.
Once again I tell you Navalny dropped his nationlistic views to be an organizer of every oppositional take, and he didn't supported outright fascists.
USSR should've died for many reasons, the topmost reason being plutocracy at it's very head, literal thieves funneling money to their pockets, but you are blind to that I guess.
Once again, I tell you that I don't for a second believe that Navalny dropped his racist views, but he did update his branding so people like you could support him more openly. And hope you're happy with what replaced this USSR plutocracy you're moaning about. I guess now you get to openly support fascists like Navalny which USSR didn't let you do.
