No you haven't.
You have seen people who are against US imperialism having a wide set of opinions on the conflict. But no communists support Putin. He's a bigoted reactionary.
You only think that because you've never engaged with them and because you're not used to having nuance in conversations
Edit: Massive typo
RT, a known Putin mouthpiece, not only is allowed to proliferate there, calling it out as such is censored
Sure 'no true Scotsman'. I've seen people who claim to be communists support Putin. I've engaged with them for hours and hours, but needed to stop for mental health reasons.
"If you don't support Russia, you just don't understand international geopolitics" ~dessalines themself
In before they claim that dessalines isnt a communist.
Russia and Putin are no more communist than the US. Occam's razor is that if a communist supports Russia, they are not a tankie, they are a complete idiot.
They're a useful idiot.
Lol, no true scottsman much? I've looked through histories on some of the people I've run into, and their history says they are. Honestly, you may as well be saying
'Sure they say they're communist, express communist beliefs, read communist literature and engage in long, drawn out conversations regarding communist praxis, but they support Putin so they're not really a communist.'
Why would I bother linking more shit for you when you're already *crickets* against the shit that's already been linked? You're hot on the draw to respond to me without a link, but awfully quiet to those who linked you what you wanted, why don't you go talk to them? Or would you rather engage with what you think is going to be the easy dunk lol?
If you're not going to respond to people who have already done the shit you asked, why should I bother to waste more time when you appear to be participating in bad faith?
Tankies are a joke, and it stopped being funny years ago.
That's a lot of words to say nothing and link no sources to the only claim you made so far...
I'll keep waiting!
