  • **but he is still a conservative tool and a reich-wing reactionary coward. ** A leader who is anti LGBT is normal in the 3rd world. Not many countries in the world is pro LGBT. You might be living in a country which was swept by sexual liberation movement of 1960s. That thing was solely European and atlanticists and was sponsored by CIA. It might have some positive effects on society but if you observe the world carefully , except the western European and Cuba, most fall into patriarchal category due to capitalism and imperialism. You cannot bring pro LGBT values into the east without dismantling the US empire which have used this as a tool against Russia and E. Europe and also against China.

    Regarding Putin, he is quite exceptional. If he were a coward he could have immigrated to IS for a more luxurious , calm life. Instead he chose to stay in Russia and rectify it and started saying about multipolar world in early 2000. As a person from the 3rd world, I have to give this man the due credit. That’s when China invited Putin in BRI. He was at the front with Xi. All commie countries have good relations with Russia. Yes, it’s not socially progressive and it will take time for Russia to adjust itself.


  • I don’t want to pin down “bonapart” terms onto Putin and such. Putin is not Napoleon. To the 3rd world he is just a casual non westerner in front of an onslaught by colonial countries. I mean he is no different from Nehru, nasser (except the debatable socialistic part). Nehru, Nasser were called socialist as namesake and were very much anti colonial and pro Palestine. That’s how I see Putin. He is standing against the ongoing colonialism of the world and he has successfully prevented it by this SMO. Materialist or not, I believe a leader’s role and philosophy is crucial for a society and his country. When Nehru was alive, our people looked onto his image and personality. He was deadly against organized religion , superstitions and was biased in pro USSR camp. He industrialized the country whereas Modi , when we look forward onto his ideology and legacy it’s all BS and fascistic. I believe Stalin had an enormous role in USSR which was slandered and squandered by the later leaders which eventually broke up the USSR. Stalin also had said, a role of a revolutionary leader and his positions is very important to marxism. We in the 3rd world lack leaders like Putin (he has courage and will to do the right thing ).


  • Modern Russia is not progressive in social terms. They do have all sorts of fundamentalism lurking around. I will say Putin as a whole is responsible for bringing back Russia from death. Many say he brought nationalism and such but i argue, what’s the alternative nowadays. Old Russians are communistic and dead , middle aged Russians are chauvinists and anti commies and younger generations are pro west completely and despise everything about USSR. As a realist I think it’s difficult for eastern block countries to find a common agenda. It’s either fascism or socialism. Russia is exceptional because Putin came from WW2 family. He lost many relatives but he thinks in Christian ways and don’t have a good grasp in Marxist theory. Well, like many middle aged people he also thinks USSR had more negative issues than positives. Russia has a short life span, if it becomes socialist it will live but after Putin if it turns towards fascism. It’s the end of Russia














  • We Indians have contradictory positions and some weirdo stuff . It is because we are taught from childhood that marriage with women worshiping husbands is a great institution . Gangs and drug culture is a systematic problem in the state of Punjab , UP , Hariyana but he thinks India is a pure Aryan country . Lack of interest in tech , he meant to say why in the western world people go for arts and music , why not become a robot where you exploit the working class .

    Do not cook - Perhaps he is right in that regard , again he probably thinks women should do the cooking for husbands.

    Too much political correctness - Why not call Muslims are terrorists and black people should have no rights and prefer casteism like India. He loves western civilization because he got his job by leaving India and now he got some comfort in life.






  • I agree there were famines and purges and relocation of 1.3 million kulak families into inward villages of Russia. But we have to see why it happened , under Tsar the status quo of kulakization was maintained. Farm lands were under landlords and village capitalists and production was low. Stalin wanted to modernize agriculture by implementing collective farming with modern machines, soviet people and stalin made some gross miscalculation as they thought the transition to machines will be quick and fast paced. It was not but anyway the modernization or urbanization went ahead. There was cultural revolution and Reformation in all of Russia. Similarly, the purges were set against corrupt people but it unfortunately became too ideological and certain good people who criticized certain policies inside USSR became it’s victims. Nonetheless, with mistakes and trials and tribulations a whole illiterate, backward society defeated the Nazi and went space.
