As a counterexample, here is a post "How Russia became far right?" where everyone agrees that Russia has a far right government, even though some communist sympathy remains in the population. I'd think that shows that they do not support Putin as communists, or even at all.

There is some good faith discussion in those subs, but when confronted with an enemy they close ranks and default to "US bad, anything the US hates we love"

Yeah, but that can be a valid tactic. The "enemy of my enemy is my friend" and all that.

I'm not a state socialist but the US is a terrorist regime that absolutely needs to be checked. So even though I don't like many things about the governments of Russia or China or Iran, I am rooting for them to... well to survive without being completely co-opted. Can you imagine if the US completely dominated those countries? How incredibly bad it would get?

I've party saw it when the USSR fell, there was a counter balance missing which I believe directly led to the social democratic parties in the US and EU embracing "the third way" (neoliberalism).
