OK, so what about sponsoring neonazis?

Yes, one can be leftist and anti-authoritarian. I dont believe state capitalism is the solution.

If only you could deal with the facts, it’d be an interesting discussion, but best you can pull is childish negation of anything that could shake up your poorly educated opinions. Afraid your western-individualist petite bourgeoisie ‘personality’ will be ruined by confronting reality?

In which policy exactly?

I could name a few worse ones, it’s not Moscow, where dark-skinned people got killed on a daily basis, but I’d agree it’s one of the more racist. You’re lecturing someone who literally leads people against 50-100k strong fascists marches, but thank you for west-splaining our situation. We Slav stupid, we not know if not western left messiah.

You’re siding with a regime that used neonazis to kill our comrades in front of it’s goverment buildings, forced our Russian comrades to move from blunt weapons to firearms just to survive on the streets, supports crypto-fascist regimes, and openly finances French, German, Austrian, US neonazis, but claim we side with fascist? Hilarious. Maybe it’s time you volunteer to ‘Rusich’, now officially a part of FSB?

Belarusian and Ukrainian refugees make up 1/4 of my city and half of the radical movement here. Like many of our comrades I’ve been traveling the region for over 20 years. Been to Moscow, been to deep Caucasian Russia, been to Ukraine a few times including the very areas that are now a battlefield and shared roof and drinks with comrades from other countries, who were now martyred there.
But still instead of hearing out someone who’s committed their life to struggle, you’re better educated based on something you’ve read on the internet. Nothing like a western colonial mindset over the experience of local, working people deciding to fight against oppression.

With what exactly? Your tanki friends getting a slap for breaking the terms they got for joining our action? I’d expect you of all people to understand following a set line and punishing dissenters.

So you’re just gloss over the issue of using “тёмненький” (“darkies”) as meat cuz you don’t have a pre-set propaganda excuse for it, or what?

And yeah, of course every bully has to defend themself, Germany was threatened by the Jew and had to fight it’s ‘existential’ fight for liberty from their control… Still, you’re apparently so deep into hatred of Slavs you want us to be subjected, is all.

You could ask literally any active polish Antifa who I am, if actually meant anything more than an pitiful attempt at an insult.

I haven’t mentioned the war itself, I’ve only mentioned the Russia-manufactured border crisis where Belarusian services starve and force push out people onto the Polish border. That’s what you’re cheering for; using helpless people as meat to throw in a geopolitical grinder.
If you want to have an idea of how it looks there’s a movie our last regime attempted to silence; Zielona Granica / Green Border. Feel free to drop the feel-good ending - there’s none - nowdays, with the new cheerfully liberal regime the activists cant even reach the border anymore as it’s all a militarized zone with hot rounds fired.

But on the issue of war - allowing an empire to size territory is not stopping the war, it’s repeating the failed concept of appeasement towards a regime openly discussing it’s imperialist aspirations (and history of long and brutal occupation of the entire region). Anti-imperialist struggles are only good if they are against US, and Slavs don’t deserve their rights to self determination?

Ok, honestly I’ve got no patience to pretend that you don’t simply support him for his alignment with Russia/China as if their was any different from US imperialism. He represents (half of) a country in which Moscow used tanks to put down a popular uprising, but is their uncritical servant. Same as his other buddies, stirring up far right talking points in favor of “fortress europe”, against the backdrop of their Moscow handlers and their colony in Bealarus pushing out migrants into swamps and primal forests on the border with Poland and Finland in an attempt at creating a crisis.

We deal with this shit, find dead people in the swamps and bushes, and fight fascists stirred up by these migrations and openly supported by the same people who caused this. Meanwhile you get your edge-lord points for siding with something you consider leftist? or just admire their authoritarianism for whatever reason? I’m pretty sure I’ve encouraged you before; visit eastern Europe, or Russia and confront your imagination with the reality of what things are here.

Just after you name any of their policies without googling it.

Can’t be bothered to look for a similar research for SMER, but when the party members of Polish SLD (Sojusz Lewicy Demokratycznej - same type of post-communist party) were studied they tended to be economically more liberal and socially more conservative then the local neo-cons, and that’s quite an achievement, as these are basically air-dropped chicago-school of economy US made products.
Left wing ideologies have been destroyed in CEE by the soviet fallout. What’s left* are parties cashing in on the nostalgia (/conservatism) and soft authoritarianism with a hint of social policies. By this account Polish PiS (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość) party is also nearly leftist - they had some populist social programs. None of these actually affect the situation of the neglected parts of society in the long term, but the cash giveaways secure the vote, and apparently support from some…

*Of course outside of mainstream there’s tiny honest left, socialist or even communist groups, but that’s nothing to do with what passes as the mainstream “left”, most of which is to the right of western centrists.

Oh yeah, I forgot calling oneself a socialist lifts any questions from the western leftists. You can be a corrupt nationalist government, have mafia kill jurnos, all is good.

Ah yes, the overtly corrupt populist right, the great partner of a Peoples Republic.

Yeah, its getting absurd by now. Maybe we should help with the rebranding a lil bit… In Polish I prefer to call it exTwitter, but in English I’d hope calling it just “formerly” will catch on.

From my expirience there should be around a million tourists marked in each of them.

This is outrageous! I will call all users of our Polish instance “SZMER” to… OK, I might be getting your point.

Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiwicz is a popular joke name. Plausible sounding, but, to my surprise, not registered to actually exist. Yet to close to my real name for me to find the video link all that funny, rather than a common expirience even with other Poles.
