It 100% won't happen and they know that, there are too many libs in power that would NEVER allow it. It seems like putting this forwards forces their opponents to demonstrate they do not in fact support socialism. When they are forced to defend their decision for being opposed to it they will give all kinds of contrived answers that are very transparent and easy to use as agitation.
It is an easy political win. Well timed with soviet nostalgia, the war and potentially Putin’s time now running down, a change is not far from coming and they're leaning into the nationalism and soviet nostalgia while putting opponents in a difficult position with it.
This is a very interesting take on the subject. Do you think there is enough true support for communism itself for this to be seen in the way you’ve described, or is it more the kind of Soviet nostalgia?
There is both true support and nostalgia and just straight up Russian gammons who view the flag as when they were STRONG. All need to be taken advantage of to maintain the connection of the communists with the masses until the conditions are correct.
I think ML revolutions have not occurred since 91 because the conditions have simply not been right for it. Until those conditions come the key is for communists to build or maintain their existing connection with the masses, I look at this as doing that. There is absolutely no chance of the flag being changed, none whatsoever, and everybody will surely know that. It is a purely political move for agitation and something to easily criticise opponents for.
If you apply MAGA to Russia you get an interesting doctrine that benefits communists by abusing the natural lean that reactionaries have towards nostalgia for prior "greatness". You can get the intellectuals with all the theory while simultaneously acquiring the reactionaries with "Soviet MAGA". Then all you really need are the correct conditions and an electrification of the population to see revolutionary action.
No worries. I think the first question that should be asked whenever a party does something that raises eyebrows is first "is this even feasible?" and if it's not the next question should always be "so given that it's not feasible, why are they doing it?"
This line of reasoning usually leads to the possible ulterior motives given that it is safe to assume they already know what they're doing won't succeed.
Another potential line of thought is that for any revolution there must be contradiction. One side supporting the USSR and one side supporting the tricolour creates two separate conflicting identities for the nation within society.

Thank you for this, comrade :deng-salute:
