Western libs should think about this. It’s going out of hands and he is very serious on this.

    I agree, that’s why that would never happen in any reality. I’m just saying in the hypothetical that if it did happen by some insane metric.

        I think you’re misunderstanding ComradeSalad if you took away them “feel[ing] smug about how bad imaginary Putin … is”.

        It is worth pointing this out because Putin did repeatedly try to make friendly terms with the West but it refused (and then tried to gaslight us into thinking none of that happened)

        You’re right. Putin is a Marxist Leninist at heart who loves the working class and Soviet Union and is not primarily driven by the capitalistic desires of Russia’s bourgeoisie class at all.

        He is a shining example of what we should all aspire to be.

        Happy? Imagine getting riled up at an analogy and running to uncritically defend Putin from any and all complaint. I’m not a liberal, there’s no need to immediately say anything negative about someone that is situationally aligned with the leftist movement is hearsay.
