Grapplejack posted:I mean they function similarly to the communist parties in the US, where they're honeypots to weaken actual movement from people who oppose the oligarchy The KPRF and Communists of Russia came off pretty strong in the last Moscow Duma elections. They may not be actual Marxist-Leninist (the Communists of Russia is more Marxist) but they aren’t dead either. At least are a base of support to work from even if leadership of the KPRF is questionable. Btw, I haven’t really heard or seen Navalny make any sort of attempt to really work with the left-wing in any serious sense. It anything his operation comes off as mostly stage managed.

I have followed the Russia discussion in the last few pages. My 2 cents, I don't think Russia's political and economic policies will change that much post Putin, regardless how high can Navalny climb in his career. I happen to think Navalny is a charismatic guy who looks like Jade Law if you squint your eyes hard enough. If he make out of the prison in one piece, I see bright future in front of him. However, that doesn't mean Russia will go the way of Yeltsin 2.0 under a different Russian strongman. The Yeltsin era was a very different time, literally during the prime of US. Americans could paddle any economic ideology they wanted. Americans sold a lot of Chicago school shitsandwich in Latin America too. IMO the geographic location and size of Russia have already decided most of Russia's geopolitical direction. Plus the two main exports, oil and weapon, will make the remaining foreign policy decisions for Russia.

The fundamental problem with this is that you are assuming rational action on behalf of the actors involved. If the russian authorities can shut navalny up over the next year the dems will forget about him while his sits in a jail cell. He's a patsy and everyone knows it. There will be a new attempted coup/military intervention by america sometime in the next 2 years at the latest and thats where the news cycle will go. Ofc this depends upon the next year with coronavirus and whether or not a truly worse again variant starts ripping through the civilian population. Navalny gets out when bidens out of office and he will be a shell of a man. I would be massively surprised if he somehow avoids coronavirus in a russian prison.

Some Guy TT posted:the problem with trying to apply decreased ughyur birthrates to genocidal policy is that with literally any ethnic group except the ughyurs decreased birthrates are seen as a universally good thing for exactly the reasons laid out in the article ideological consistence here would also require you to acknowledge that any attempts to decrease birthrates in africa also amount to genocide which is like a hotep level crazy position that would be laughed out of any mainstream publication this is the same poo poo they claimed in Ukraine. Peasants get education and healthcare and their birthrate falls from 7 children (1/3rd whom will die before 7) to 2-3 children and call it genocide

Somaen posted:well the difference between successful eastern european countries and horrifying shitholes is not personalities but institutions, how strong after the fall of the soviet union are free-speech, free elections, how fair are the courts and possibility of government change. Russia in particular is very, very bad with those and Navalny has a personal grudge against all of them because 1) the state channel propaganda smears him daily 2) he almost won the moscow mayor elections and the government had to step in to gently caress him over and 3) put his brother in prison as a warning not to gently caress with them. this is all fully funded by the oligarchs. they also sent death squads to kill several of his friends (Nemtsov's public shooting in front of the Kremlin being the prime example), tried to poison his wife and him and sent many into exile fearing for their lives. now these are all problems that make it harder for a broader political dialogue because people generally dont want to loving die and get the hint and emigrate, especially the nerve agent death squads part hmm nope
