Russia-Based American Communist activist Jackson Hinkle said that Hezbollah, the Russian military, and North Korean soldiers all fall into the same category, those who fight against the deep state, in an interview posted on May 25, 205 on Mayadeen English on Youtube. 

He argued that anyone resisting Western imperialism and hegemony is engaged in the same struggle as his comrades in America. He noted that taking such a stance as an American is dangerous, and this was one of the reasons he moved to Russia.

Hinkle claimed that there is greater freedom of speech in Moscow than in the United States when it comes to speaking about how the world actually operates. “I think it’s much better to be here,” he said.

He also expressed admiration for Iran and the Iranian Revolution. Hinkle criticized Western leftists for being “liberal-leftists,” rather than true communists or Marxist-Leninists. He described himself as a Stalinist who loves Mao, and said that Western leftists support BDS and economic measures against Israel, but fail to fully back the Axis of Resistance, its military stance, and the men who are putting their lives on the line fighting against the United States.
