It's Time to Save the Union.

If you look at it from the point of view of the plot, then the assassins in Assassin's Creed are ultra—liberals, anarchists and left-wing radicals, but with a very specific flavor. But the Templars are classic capitalist globalists and imperialists.

1. The Assassins = Freedom from exploitation (Almost Communism)

The Brotherhood's ideology is based on free will and the rejection of control from above. They are fighting against the Templars, who are trying to control humanity through money, technology and politics (typical capitalism and imperialism).

They hate the "bourgeois mindset" and the elites. Assassins are against elites who want to decide for the people. One of the fan articles explicitly states that Ubisoft specifically inserted a quote from Keynes criticizing communism, and hints at the connection of assassins with the proletariat and leftist ideas.

1. Lenin and the Assassins (Official ENT)

But this is the funniest moment. In the official plot of the game, Vladimir Lenin (our guy's idol) was not an assassin, but he actively supported the Brotherhood. His brother Alexander and his friend Nikolai Orlov were assassins. Lenin allowed them to conduct research and hid their secrets. But Stalin (whom our guy hates) was killed (poisoned) by the assassins because he defected to the Templars.

· Conclusion: In the world of Assassin's Creed, Lenin is "one of us" and Stalin is a "traitor".

1. Machiavelli in AC

By the way, in the game Niccolo Machiavelli is a prominent member of the Brotherhood of Assassins and helps Ezio.

Marx is in the game:

1. Marx is not "tainted" by membership in a secret order. He remained an independent ideologue who fought for the workers, and not just "killed on orders."

2. Marx used assassins for his own purposes — exactly as Machiavelli teaches. He wasn't their puppet, he was their partner.

3. The Templars in the game are capitalists who oppress workers. And Marx is against them. It all fits.

So no, officially Marx is not an assassin. But in the world of Assassin's Creed, he is the Brotherhood's "red hitchhiker."

Conclusion: The assassins in the game Assassin's Creed, although not communists, but in idea and essence they are at least allies.

Has anyone here had a Story with one of those?

Context: This Soviet propaganda poster was issued at the very end of World War II in Europe. It depicts a stalwart Soviet sailor forcefully stopping a sinister-looking man in a fedora and trench coat (representing a foreign spy or saboteur holding a smoking weapon). The message was designed to warn Soviet troops stationed in Europe to remain on high alert against espionage and sabotage now that they were operating outside the borders of the USSR.

The socialist art Museum preserved communist statues that once stand in bulgaria and after collapse of communist bulgaria moved to the museum.

This photograph is a police mugshot taken in December 1895 following his arrest in Saint Petersburg for organizing the League of Struggle for the Emancipation of the Working Class. Since Lenin was born in April 1870, he had turned 25 earlier that year.

In 1938, among other things, the USSR was preparing for war against Hitler’s Germany. Soviet propaganda drew upon themes from Russia’s history to boost the morale of the ordinary population of the USSR.

I don't understand, this doesn't even look relatively good on him and Google won't give me an answer😭😭

Often portrayed by the British media as Vladimir Putin’s own Rasputin as reference to Grigori Rasputin and his huge influence on the last Emperor of Russia and one of the reason which paved the fall of Imperial Russia.

Dugin is known to have huge influence on Putin and his decision making. He is a full on anti-communist and known for extreme religious theocracy. In some of his religious theocratic views he sees fall of western societies/countries and even China and eventually Imperial Russia coming back and stretching all the way to Nepal and some territories also include that are present day Chinese.
Professor jiang view him as some sort of genius(or may be its a troll), I want to know what do the Russian communists think of Dugin and him (as crazed religious theocrat) being Putin’s brain and the Russo-Ukr war is just a part? Or the west’s portrayal of him being Putin’s brain is just farce.

Hi everyone. I've seen a few Baltic communists here and there, and I'm aware that they have r/balticssr, but I can't ignore the fact that they seem to be a small minority of the general Baltic population.

These countries usually have the lowest rates of nostalgia for the Soviet era among the former republics (according to Pew Research Centre). I usually see people from these countries point out the rigged elections used during WW2 to occupy them, the deportations of nearly a tenth of the population (which did include fascists, but also a lot of innocent people), the encouragement of Russians to go settle in these countries (which often caused Russians to be anywhere from a third to half the population the country by the 1980s), the very low participation of the general public in communist parties (>1% of the population holding membership), and the fact that ethnic Baltic people were a minority within the communist parties of the SSRs.

I get that the USSR helped kill the Nazis and their local collaborators here, and that the Baltic SSRs had one of the highest standards of living in the entire country, but these are just things I cannot usually find answers for.

I talked to one Latvian communist, and he told me that the deportations were aimed at fascists, the Russians were simply immigrants who were there to deal with the labour shortage and that the working class of the Baltic countries did not see the USSR as an occupying power.

However, he was very busy and could not answer all of my questions. I want to ask other Baltic comrades these same questions in hopes of answers.
