Communists shouldn't defend the Russian Federation. Yet for inexplicable reasons, many self-proclaimed communists online do so. Typically they're tankies with all sorts of other problematic opinions.
I have literally never seen it.
I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it doesn't happen in the places I frequent - and I frequent a LOT of Leftist communities.
Edit: People are pointing to the Tankies Lemmy community. The place designed for tankies. I'm not arguing they don't exist. I'm aruing against the people saying they're all over the place and pervasive in other communities and that they're not a commonality and not the usual communist/socialist.
Pointing to the Tankies communities doesn't change anything I've said.
It's rampant in certain ML communities. A lot of people are so caught up in their reasonable opposition to the US, it's foreign policy and the military industrial complex that they start to see any US enemy in a positive light, despite many of those enemies being significantly worse.
Which communities. Someone else pointed to that same community - and I looked at a post and saw nothing but support for Ukraine.

I think you meant to link a Lemmy post - but accidentally posted the article from the Lemmy post instead of the comments themselves.
You are right, I'm sorry. Here's what I meant to share: https://lemm.ee/post/3842553
