    Western journalists also widely reported on the events I stated, before the entry of Russia into the Ukrainian Civil War. The west has since censored Russian speech from the eyes of westerners, and self-censored the problems with the Ukrainian government that they so widely reported on prior to 2022.

    As for the fact that I oppose Banderite fascists, and support socialism, that makes perfect sense considering I told you that I’m a communist. I devote a significant portion of my free time and disposable income to participating in that movement, though not in Russia or Europe at all. My motivation should be the clearest thing in this thread for you!

      Your comments could only make sense to me if you believe both:

      1. that there is systematic, conspiratorial censorship of western journalism at an international level, and
      2. that the Soviet Union was a model communist state.

        1 is unquestionably correct, it’s how private media operates. As for 2, the idea of a “model communist state” is flawed thinking. Socialist countries like the USSR are not necessarily “models,” each has their own problems that come from existing in the real world, and not our heads. I support socialism, and the workers that make the world. The historical USSR fell into that category, and now the mantle is held by the PRC, DPRK, Vietnam, Laos, and Cuba.

            That’s not entirely true. You could try to present an argument for why. If that’s not possible, perhaps you should do some more digging on your own? Maybe expand your understanding?

              I can’t possibly argue with you because on one hand you make sweeping claims that cannot possibly be substantiated and on the other hand contradict my personal experiences of what I know to be true.

              I might encourage you to do the same, to challenge your own interpretation of the world around you.
