Actually, it is a critically important difference.
Explain to me the difference in BLM and Russia?
Perhaps the best way I can explain that, is to point out that the people that correspond with (and agree with) BLM in Russia, are in prison or are otherwise well restricted by authorities.
How about a t-shirt with Che Guevara on the front?
When the Weathermen were bombing police stations, they were planning on dividing up America with Vietnam, China, Soviet Union, and Cuba.
I fully agree that Marxists, Communists, Extreme Socialists, and those you list, are the Epitome of wrong to the point of absolute Evil.
I have difficulty not going off on Useful Idiots wearing Che shirts.
I know everything I need to know when a college trained useful idiot marches down an American street with a red flag showing a hammer and sickle on it.
Yes, but only about THAT college trained useful idiot, it doesn't tell you a single thing about a contemporary Russian living in Russia.
A commie is a commie.
Again Yes, but most Russians are about as far from being Commies as are Americans who voted for President Trump.
Finally, Thank You Sir, for an honest conversation, and your unflagging Anti Communist and Pro American Support.

Just because Putin might have jailed those guys or their equivalents doesn’t mean he is different from BLM, especially not when Counting Stars, a right-wing magazine helmed in Spain, gave sufficient evidence that Putin if anything is financially backing said groups outside Russia. All that proves is that Putin’s pragmatic enough to realize going full Marxist like Lenin won’t do good for his power. Remember, even Stalin persecuted gays and made abortion illegal in Russia, and he otherwise was still a full blown Communist, even going as far as to directly fund gays outside Russia specifically to make it ripe for Communist revolutions.
