I’m about as far from nationalist as you can get unlike Putin and Trump. You guys have one insult and you use it for everything lol

So you don’t know what their relation is to the post we are discussing?

We all know the other parties are only allowed exist as long as they don’t threaten daddy Putin. Don’t be so gullible

Of course… I totally forgot about all the other parties that have been in power since the fall of the USSR. My bad

Do you know what dark MAGA is?

Your reading comprehension needs work. I never said that. I said I can see why you might find that problematic. It has nothing to do with my opinion.

You don’t have the answers either though. I am literally being open with you. The organisation I prefer is anarcho-syndicalism but it has it’s flaws. Different system work on different scales and game theory complicates things further. In any case I am not trying to convince you to follow my ideals, I am trying to understand your ideals because they are also full of flaws (based on my current understanding). It could be I am missing some things though. So far I have not come across any new information but it’s still interesting to see how others are thinking. There are plenty of tribalists in here who apply label and disengage brain (they get blocked) and plenty of well meaning people who haven’t quite thought things through the whole way and end up contradicting themselves (I know might be in this group too). I do know that no one person or minority group on the planet have all the answers or are even capable of consistently acting in good faith which is why I know authority is a non-starter. If you can convince me otherwise I will be happy to change my mind.

I gave you the keywords. You can throw Lavrov in too and see what comes up… It’s all in there in black and white.

It doesn’t matter if you disagree with my analysis or not because it is fact as written in the Epstein files published by the DOJ. It’s there for all to see.

Don’t see it. What part of this aligns with me thinking RT is exceptionally bad? The only opinion I put forward is that mass media is equally bad from all sources. IMO it is literally the only reason mass media exists in the first place.

Mate. If you don’t understand what I just told you then there is nothing I can do. I don’t know how to explain it any clearer and it seems to me that you are choosing not to understand.

I literally just explained that they are working together to extract as much as possible from the working classes through endless war profiteering. It’s not complicated. Step 1) Collect taxes and sell bonds. 2) Start bullshit war. 3) Use tax and bond proceeds to buy weapons from the businesses you own. 4) Profit and repeat. … end result is tax payers are shafted and oligarchs are wealthier than ever. What don’t you understand?

China is fighting US imperialism. They are doing it at home mostly through economic and industrial policy. You see the difference?

They aren’t fighting an imperialist country, then are feeding it.

I’ll be the first to admit I don’t have all the answers. It’s much easier to see the flaws in something that it is to invent the solution. The main thing I am trying to promote here is to define what kind of world and society we want to live in. This is the first step. Then we can discuss how to achieve it. If we can’t agree on the first step then we cannot move to step #2. What I know for certain is I do not want to live in an authoritarian world. I just have no interest in some random person deciding how my life will pan out based on them pursuing their own special interests.

“fighting imperialism” is bullshit propaganda for the proles and easily led idiots.

I already outlined why Russian’s aren’t fighting imperialism and are instead engaging in endless war profiteering hand in hand with their American counterparts.

Good thing I never made that argument. I don’t agree with the ban at all.

Modern Russians aren’t Soviets. They are cut throat Capitalists. I don’t know why you are conflating the two? Regardless the evidence of war profiteering is there for all to see in the files. You can support this if you like. Stink of MAGA off it though.

Now you are putting words into my mouth. They are all engaged in the same war profiteering. They aren’t your friends. If you condone this then I can’t help you. The evidence is there if you want to look. Vile scum of the earth from Washington to Moscow. No exceptions.

I’m not into absolutes and I actually don’t believe in silver bullet political philosophies. We need to take good ideas from all philosophies and combine them into something greater than the sum of it’s parts. I have stayed at Soviet era luxury resorts. These were for the top political class only. You cannot tell me that there was no hierarchy and power dynamics in the USSR. It’s simply not true.
