Somaen posted:the guy wants russia to have free elections, during those leftists and social-democrats can be elected and actually implement policies that would be socialist or progressive instead of everything going to putin's billionaire friends i genuinely hope that's what happens. something about a cursory glance at the last 100 years of political economy tells me that won't be what happens

I mean things are bad but come on man. If you want what I think the alternative is: organize an actual independent leftist movement to radicalize KPRF supporters and those sympatric to left-wing policy. The government would be as hostile to that movement as any other that challenges its legitimacy but everything is about leverage. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 22:36 on Jan 23, 2021 |

you can ahnd-wave away stuff in the "everything gets ruined by capitalism and liberalism" sense but lol pretending like Navalny is a scheming evil little gnome hell-bent on destroying russia and wishing for people begging in the streets is some galaxy-brained disingenious poo poo and putin shilling the guy is a twerpy nationalist democrat that loves his country and wants it to be strong and successful, and constantly points out the travesty of mismanagement of previously successful areas of the russian economy like the space industry or the military or science, which have been ruined by corrupt oligarchs which are directed friends of putin, who is a right-wing capitalist and liberal bringing austerity and capitalism to russians and the ownership of the state gas and oil industries to his friends the 2 ways to change this are 1) unite in a broad pro-democratic coalition for incremental changes 2) wait for Lenin to come back to life to bring back communism

listening to the latest trueanon where norm finkelstein talked about being a maoist in the 60s and there being US revolutionary movements influenced heavily by the USSR/China, it's interesting to see how the pro-China views of the contemporary left are limited to hoping China pushes in the US's poo poo. the Twitter slapfights about China feel like an aesthetic

Communist ideology is constantly associated with bad/evil foreign countries. That rhetoric will always be used to suppress leftist movements.

France owns because they're the bellweather to determine whether a foreign policy move is bad. If they do it, it's bad. They're worse than the US, and yes, that's possible.

Alexei Navalny appears to be increasingly popular. Witness the fact that tens of thousands of people turned out at these protests, more than 2,000 of them arrested in dozens of Russian cities right across the expanse of the country. When Navalny arrived from Germany a little over a week ago, his team released a video in which he alleged that President Putin has a palace that is valued at a billion dollars that was built on bribes. Now, the Kremlin has denied this allegation, but this video has been watched by more than 71 million people. That suggests that Mr. Navalny is getting increasingly popular. I profiled him twice first in 2011 when he was basically an activist investor investigating corruption in-state companies and then again in 2017, when he was trying to run for president, he was actually barred from being on the ballot then. And 2011, he was almost unknown. In 2017, popular, but mostly among the youth and that appears to be changing. Now, where does this go? Well, Mr. Navalny is well known, but perhaps not universally loved. And in fact, one pollster says his approval rating is around 15 to 17 percent. Nevertheless,

Shear Modulus posted:is navalny some 90s shock therapy guy who was frozen in an iceberg for 20 years I forget when the last opposition guy was murdered, but basically Navalny has been the dude that the West has favored for a number of years now, and he's also been on the receiving-end of attacks allegedly by the Putin government to try and silence him. I mean yeah he's a shock therapy guy but anyone who's been paying any attention at all to Russia for the last half-decade at least knows Navalny has been in the news for a while. If the media is trying to make more of a big deal out of him right now that probably has to do with the change in leadership in the White House.

Vasukhani posted:what boggles me more is how ineffective the "novichok" poison seems It doesn't matter who poisoned him. Navalny could have stage it himself. The beauty is Putin can't use KGB stuff on him anymore. Putin would have to find a legal way to keep him off the ballot, and it's going to cost Putin political capital.
