    Don’t forget how extremely chud Russian politics are.

    They’re closer to socialism than the west due to history, structure, and relationship to global capital but that’s like saying Jake Paul is closer to winning a championship belt than I am.

      Oh of course, they are dominated by chuds and the nationalists still have control of the state, but as a historical process the working class is gradually understanding that they must return to socialism. I don’t mean soviet legacy taken advantage of by nationalists, but actual working class organizing.

        I was in much the same spot you are years ago, an anarchist studying environmental science and seeing the apocalyptic scope of the damage wrought by capitalism and imperialism and also reading Lenin and deciding fuck it, we are out of time “authoritarian” measures are necessary when all life on earth is at stake.

          I say anarchist but at this point I am okay with any leftist ideals taking center stage, anything but blood money for the blood god.

      Russia is more like a washed-up former heavyweight champion who still has a better chance at getting the title than some unfit rando, which is what the West is.

      Who knows? Maybe Russia can pull a Foreman comeback.
