New Russian balk map? Anyway, the argument is that Putin just united the capitalist interests with state interests. Created a nationalist bourgeoisie block. The state and the bourgeoisie exist to support each others interests. Problem is that Russia is suffering from dutch disease and is under developed industrially. Majority of the ruling class interests are still tied to exports of fossil fuels.

my thoughts on choosing Western development models can be summed up by the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant, brought to you by Westinghouse (Under IMF type development models they had to take the Westinghouse proposal. Because it was cheaper. Even though it had no specifics and may as well have been written in Crayola)

I just say this by looking at other Russian socialists expressing their view on the war, and they all obviously have their own domestic view on it. It's very different from a western view on the whole thing, who have their own concerns. Everyone right now is just speculating and can't really predict the future. The global supply chains and financial systems are so complicated that the consequences of everything that happened already, and hasn't happened yet, are very difficult to predict if you ask me.

Like yeah obviously Putin and the bourgeoisie are loving the Russian working class and poo poo is going to suck super hard for everyone going forward. Buuuuuut https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/mar...ions/ar-AAVc8sA quote:Russia made a $117 million payment on dollar-denominated debt using assets frozen by Western sanctions. The western bourgeoisie are also feckles cowards and aren't willing to destroy their system of global capitalism either. So while you can be hyper focused on Putin and him destroying Russia, you might not be as aware of faults of the western capitalists.

mortons stork posted:fair enough, there is no surefire way to predict the future but the people i've been reading have been mostly in accord on 'poo poo will get reeeal bad.' most catastrophic were branko milanovic's predictions, just abject terror reading that and i sincerely hope he's wrong. The question is also though about much Western companies can permanetly detach at this point as well especially if many of their competitors are staying, there has already been some signs of softening from the EU and Japan. I wouldn't say it is an issue of terror but probably the first of a series of detachments that will gradually happen over time. The Ruble also offers some clues as the panic has worn off and it has started to consolidate.

quote:Comrade Marcos not only improved our relations with communist countries, he also made the Philippines do a little bit of Holomodor and The Great Leap Forward with the Negros Famine, plus made everyone poorer with his 30-year plan infrastructure white elephants, annoyed the Americans by de-funding the military and having them rely on American aid so that the CPP-NPA can claim to be against the "evil American lapdogs" of the Philippine military, all while stealing from the decadent capitalist countries of the world by racking up debt that he doesn't plan to pay! the Sinophobia has ratcheted up to such an extreme degree that liberals are rewriting Marcos as a communist dictator

It has kind of a hard russian nationalist bent to it, and I guess that's what makes it different from other socialist perspectives. yeah goblin is a hard putinist and also a soviet nostalgic iirc, which is kinda weird honestly? i dont have the patience anymore for his razvedoprosy, but i wouldnt exactly trust his viewpoint on current day putin policies
