Such an odd way to tell people u support the murder of innocent civilians, the bombing of a children's hospital and that ur an overall cunt
Moescobar
Why would they use the Soviet flag instead of the modern Russian?
Fruchmoney
Cause they are Tankies who basically wish the old USSR was still a thing
ItsMeSanders
Can we ship them to Russia?

Having a Soviet flag with an American flag is just crazy. These people are off their rockers.

And in front of Abraham Lincoln… Their symbolism is a fuckin mess.

They don't know what the hell to believe in anymore.

.... did I miss the memo where GOP adopted the hammer and sickle to own the libs or what?
AngryGraphicDesigner
They support Putin’s neo-Nazi view of the world. Putin wasn’t a Neo-Nazi/neo-Soviet country. It’s a Republican wet dream.
xXxSTEVOxXx
I recognize that GOP and tankie interests align in this regard, and appreciate that amusing insight, I also recognize theyre distinct groups

Is that Lincoln in the background?
spoiledbabykitty101
That's what I was wondering. Like a really angular Soviet Lincoln.
spoiledbabykitty101
Like Lincoln was crossed with Zangief from Street Fighter.

USSR and USA ... are not mutually supporting things.

So are Republican dumbfucks gunna comment on this being in Texas? Don't they hate communism and socialism 1/2

Will probably get downvoted, but although I STRONGLY disagree with their position, I will argue in favor of their right to speak it
NoQuestionMarksInDeclarativeSentences
What is their position? Itnis only assumed.

Inferred from the flag and sign at least

I can agree with that, just like it's my right to say they're a bunch of twats.

Back in the day most places had nazi fanboys too. Take note.

There's still Nazi fanboys now. We usually call them "fox news enthusiasts" now though

I took those notes, in 8th grade history class. They were obviously sleeping through that lesson though.

No, you misunderstand. I mean literally write down the names of every single one of these assholes for postwar shame and reckoning.
mrsyetigoosecreature
Is "the day" today? Cos it kinda feels like it's today.
Jess1988NY
The group doing this is a communist one.
OlofBorrbrottsson
It’s not whichever ideology they espouse, nor that of their idol, it’s their traitorous support of an anti-democratic, warmongering
Jess1988NY
Oh I fully agree with that, it's just so many of the comments here are calling them "far right". Both fringes have a lot in common
OlofBorrbrottsson
war-criminal dictator who has declared himself an enemy of the free world. ’Nazi’ works for cultural reasons.

As a Texan this is sickening, this is not the majority …

Definitely not. These are theory-sodden Stalinist stooges who are so nostalgic for the USSR that they ignore that the RF is capitalist now..

Traitors. How long will our leaders just allow open treason from the growing far right?
KleptoKea
How long will the People allow it, is my question. If USA turns into a Nazi-era regime tomorrow, it'll be too late.
RogueKitsune
Not to be pessimistic, but, pretty sure the first time there were people screeching "America First", it didn't stop until Pearl Harbor... :/
UncleDuckjob
Half of our "leaders" are on their side. What do you expect?
Jess1988NY
This group in Texas is a fringe left communist group, not far right. Remember the far right and the far left seem to both support Putin
capnadorable
Wish we didn’t always have to wait for a Nazi era Germany type scenario to finally realize something needs to be done.
PandaWaffleking
Unlike trickle down economics. Crime and punishment is trickle up. Higher up they are the less they receive.
irvingb01
It isn't treason. Treason requires an official Enemy to adhere to and give aid and comfort to. and the U.S. has not declared anyone as such.
nicky512
As long as we have freedom of speech and they don’t commit any crimes. This country is filled with dumb, but legal opinions.

Then the right thing to do is to commit crimes to stop them before they can kill me and my family. I don't give a damn if you think »

To clarify, I’m answering the question regarding our “leaders” and what they will do. Nothing. That’s a fact. The people may act /1

According to sources, this is actually a communist (far left) organization.

Eeeh, Hitler also called his party "socialist". Their actions and politics matter, and they're clearly not for workers liberation.

They call themselves that. Just like russia calls themselves democratic.

Nah they are tankies, Haz the streamer was even part of the "show".

https://cpiusa.org/ They're actually communists. See the flag of USSR.

No, their claim to be socialist not communist. The distinction varies from sham to significant/important depending on the org. Also Russia/
FistsWithPassion
Isn’t exactly communist anymore.
xXxSTEVOxXx
"Also Russia isnt communist anymore" Precisely. You've stumbled on the reason russian chauvanist tankies are a laughing stock on the left

They claim, yes. My country was called socialist. Depends on your definition. Anyway they advocate for PLANNED economy, not just social dem.

Socialism isn't "when the government is in charge of stuff."

Seems shitty/stupid and possibly full of moronic sheep.
CaptMal
https://cpiusa.org/ is a socialist organization, and based off their website either Russian propaganda or otherwise nonsense. Seems Russian
JackingMeHoff
CPI is a loose knit organization spreading a whiny political ideology without a basic how to implement plan. Sounds like the GOP.
matrixalgebra
except the GOP controls 2 branches of government...?
JackingMeHoff
Neither houses. Tied in the Senate.

which is why we have a $15 min wage. I forgot! thank you

They're socialist in the orthodox marxist sense where first you build socialism and then communism. They're still shit either way

Socialist as in "the workers should own production" or "Socialist" as in "govt owns everything, fuck you and your starving children"?
MadCatIV
Probably the latter
DaveSamsonite
So the ultra right wing calling Democrats socialists and commies are the ones that are actually commies & socialists. That’s super on-brand.
mutingisforcowardsandsycophants
The imagery they are utilizing leads me to believe they are the nationalist variety of socialist.

Obligatory: "I did nazi that coming" (even though I totally did see that coming).
HeroThatWasNeeded
They're certainly not national bolshevik or leftists. Russia is a capitalist autocracy, to support it is to support fascism.
glaug
A nazbol has a lot in common with fascists as far as the kind of society they want to establish. In Russia, much of the social work is done.

The amount of clashing ideologies here is mind bending.

They're Tankies, don't try to reason with them. They think Stalin was good.
xXxSTEVOxXx
Yes fucking thank you. At least one person gets it. "They're Republicans. This think Stalin was great." - imgurian, apparently.
dingusporsingus
Can anyone describe a "tankie"
Fruchmoney
Basically some one who thinks the best version of communism is Stalin/Leninism and the Soviet Union, including the militarism
Eli93
I don't know how anyone can square authoritarianism with leftism, but people always get mad at me when I say tankies aren't left...

Hot take: authoritarian socialism is an oxymoron.

Socialism can be liberal or illiberal. No true Scotsman bullshit.

There is not a goddamn thing “ left” about modern Russia.

Trying to represent all of human political thought with a single axis is futile anyway.

The tankie thing. Those are not leftists. Those are fucking fascists. There is nothing “left” about modern Russia.

They're authoritarians who go so deep into "the enemy of my enemy" logic that they'll root for anyone who opposes the arch-capitalist US.
