It’s definitely both. The ultra-left tankie lemmy instances love Russia and hate Ukraine too.

I would call anyone in that mindset not actually leftist, just right wing authoritarians with a red flag.

I mean they call themselves communist and espouse communist ideology though.

Plenty of far right groups have called themselves communist and socialist.

If you think these people “espouse communist ideology” then you need to be specific about exactly what ideology, and how that leads to support for Putin.

Unless you’re going to claim all the tankies on lemmygrad and hexbear are secret righties, you’re just wrong on this one.
