The socialist fraternal kiss was a special form of greeting between socialist state leaders. The act demonstrated the special connection that exists between Communist countries, consisting of an embrace, along with a series of three kisses on alternate cheeks. In rare cases, when the two leaders considered themselves exceptionally close, the kisses were given on the mouth rather than on the cheeks.
Here is a photo of a Soviet and an American soldier sharing a ‘socialist fraternal kiss’, Germany, 1945:
This is why tankies think the USSR was pro queer
I find the most hilarious part to be tankies also defending Putin. It’s almost like they’re more pro-authoritarian than they are pro-worker… or just a psychological warfare operative doing a misinformation campaign?
Well, it kind of was.
Until Lenin died, like a noob.
The original “kiss your homies”.

Huh, socialism really is gay…
The real reason tankies support authoritarian regimes
The text at the bottom reads “My God help me survive this deadly love”.
Which fits the relationship between the Soviet Union and the German Democratic Republic perfectly.Pause.
That mural on the Berlin wall is very popular in tourist shops there.
The NATO themed gift shop near Checkpoint Charlie has a really large collection of items with the image plastered on. Was surprising, to say the least.
Oh it’s not just socialists…

Or a light pecker at the tip of the penis.

This should be picked back up
Xi french kissing Putin.
Burn that in your mind.
Trump kissing … no wait let’s not bring it back
Lithuanians did that years ago.
Ha ha in adidas track suits, magnificent. Horrible but magnificent, thank you!
Is closing your eyes part of the greeting, or is that optional?
