Yeah it’s shockingly prevalent. They must literally just do free association “communism bad, Putin bad, Putin want communism!” to reach that conclusion because I cannot imagine how else you come to it.
It seems to be the majority view among Russia-fearing libs, I’ve heard it for a while. I believe it mostly comes from a speech they reference from 2011ish where he mentions something like restoring the old glory of the Soviet Union, then they believe his actions since then are part of his plan to recapture the same USSR as before, a totalitarian hellhole ruled by oligarchs in their mind.
The word communism appears exactly 0 times in that article, so i guess they think that just gathering the physical remnants of the USSR means that you summon back it’s government like Exodia.
If the Soviet Union was not legally dissolved, then the Ukrainian crisis, for example, could be viewed as an internal matter rather than an international conflict.
Would be an incredible move forward for global Socialism if the RF and Ukraine joined into a Socialist union. If only.
Edit: clarifying that both the RF and Ukraine are absolutely not Socialist now, and a simple merge would not be a huge win for Socialism, a merge and becoming Socialist would.
I’m aware, the implementation of USSR 2 implies the “Soviet Socialist” parts as well. That’s more what I was meaning, not that the RF is anything close to Socialist right now.
cursed hypercapitalist soviet union time
Bit conspiracy idea: The fall of the Soviet Union was staged to cover up the Soviet Union entering its Dengist era
We will unlock a new kind of lib that insists the old Soviet Union was exactly the same as the new one led by putin
I’ve heard takes like this, that le evil Putin wants to resurrect USSR

I asked a lib forum for evidence once. They cited this.

It’s just legal shenanigans, sadly.

Probably not. Russia isn’t socialist.
