Just as an FYI, Stalin did MUCH of the same tactics as well. Heck, despite persecuting gays in his own country, he and his ComIntern had absolutely NO qualms funding Harry Hay and his branch of the revolution. And last I checked, Stalin was very much FOR Communism first and foremost.
Want my take? If he truly were against Communism, if he truly were against the woke elements, he’d not support them at all, neither in Russia, nor, more importantly, outside Russia. If anything, he’d fund the guys who want to destroy the homosexual groups and BLM groups both inside and outside Russia.
Besides, last I checked, the Chinese also were cracking down on BLM/Homosexuals as well, and they’re still blatantly Communist.
I'm aware of that, so what?
Putin is not Stalin
Want my take?
No.
You're not Putin, either.
Besides, last I checked, the Chinese also were cracking down on BLM/Homosexuals as well, and they’re still blatantly Communist.
So what?
Putin is not Xi, and Russia is not China.
There is one Government policy enforced where Communist China is not Communist at all, but you already know that.
