    They’re either paid shills, or braindead useful idiots. Russia cultivates both types for propaganda.

      You know I’ve been noticing a heck of a lot of communists on Lemmy the past week. It’s crazy, there’s this whole gaggle of people posting on socialism, hex bear, Games, vegan topics and related threads.

        What do Communists have to do with right wingers falling for Russian propaganda?

          A particular type of Communist colloquially known as “tankies” tend to suck up the Russian propaganda the same way alt-right people do.

            Tankies are hardcore authoritarians who pretends to be Communists. Let’s not confound the two.
