Apart from Israel, who have been unjustly attacked for nearly a century, I don’t defend any bloodshed, frankly. I simply support Putin’s plan to re-establish the USSR and finally apply communism correctly, with modern ideologies and technology. A plan which puppet-Ukraine (and the US) stand to stop.
And he also considers the fall of the USSR one of the worst geopolitical disasters in human history. So… yeah. I’d say he’s well on his way to trying to revive communism with a contemporary foundation.
Putin, born and raised in the height of Soviet propaganda and optimism, eventually growing up to be a KGB officer, has already laid the groundwork for a communist state by reviving Soviet-era authoritarianism. Just last year, he said he was open to the concept of nationalizing industries.
The hectic nationalisation was a result of inefficient russian economy crumbling because of the war, not a move towards communism. Russia is predominantly capitalistic ("state capitalism") with private property etc. and various pathologies inherited from Soviet era and mentality.
You're talking like a 12YO. Putin's Russia has nothing to do with communism, besides growing terror and corruption, perhaps. It's a poor, kleptocratic authoritarian mafia-like oligarchy.
Probably better to laugh at these cranks than try to reason with them, honestly. It is rare to see a vatnik-hasbarist hybrid in the wild, especially on this site. I feel like I should record my findings in a journal or something 😛
