    If their communists are anything like the swedish ones they are just “tankies”. They’ll love russia and china with the reasoning that they are “not usa” and therefore automatically good. This has been a huge issue for the european “far”-left for ages.

    Most of what you listed is just attributably to being at war. Elections are impossible to hold during war and the crimea-thing is just posturing at this point which mean very little.

      Historically, no.

      and the crimea-thing is just posturing at this point which mean very little.

      You should go in the middle of Kiev and shout this. Pretty soon, some armed thugs will pull up, strip you, beat you up, throw green paint on you then tie you on a street lamp and piss on you. It’s not posturing.

            The last time anybody was mobbed was in the early part of the war when they were looting. You can’t show any proof of your claims.

              Euros will always call travelling people thieves, because euros are extremely racist.

              So you believe the people who tied other people naked to lampposts in winter? Those people? That’s who you believe when they tell you they were totally justified in tying and beating up people and leaving them to freeze to death?

              Sometimes I wish Russia would actually invade Europe so we could get rid of fascists like you. You’re the kind of idiot who would have sent Dahmer’s victim back to him like the police did when he fled the apartment.

      Yes it’s such an issue for the European left to have people with principles, who are right all the time and can think beyond elections to enact change.

      Don’t make me laugh, social Democrats would sooner vote with the far right to prevent the actual left from winning elections.

      Since I am a Swedish communist and know plenty of them, I feel it might fall on me to say that you are just being ignorant and judgmental. There has been a fair share of naivety in the ranks of the left wing parties in Sweden, but that was much more notable during the 1970’s than it is today. I don’t know any communist or socialist in Sweden that argues in such simplistic terms like “not USA is automatically good”, that’s just an insane claim to make. And while we’re at it, most of the western world seem to agree that “not-Russia is automatically good” with all the head-in-the-sand shit the west is pulling over Ukraine. I believe you are touting prejudice against communists, like so many before you have done. It doesn’t do anyone any good.
