Funny how you guys like to pretend that you are for denazification but hate it when people point out that Stalin was Hitler’s greatest collaborator until the meth head betrayed him. Or that the USSR engaged in naked imperialism (and have to redefine imperialism to specifically event countries that claim to be communist from the classification for reasons). Or when it’s pointed out that violent, aggressive expansionism isn’t exactly pro-prolitariat - it wasn’t in 2020, or 2014, or 1939. Nor was it particularly pro-prolitariat when they murdered their anarchist allies once the White Army was defeated so as to prevent self-rule and centralize imperial power in Moscow.

Yep, the Prague spring.
Funny you guys are still mad about what the USSR did 50 years ago but when the us dems send tanks to gaza, it’s OK because the other guy is worst.

The sheer amount of military equipment produced was pretty impressive, which makes it even more impressive that PUTIN PISSED IT ALL AWAY.
No, it was coined for those who supported the soviet invasions of Hungary and czechoslovakia in 1956 and 1968.
