"He may have just been sentenced to another 19 years, now in a 'special regime colony', but the indomitable Alexei #Navalny has just produced a broadside against the 'reformists' of the 1990s - whom he considers nothing of the sort, but instead the architects of kleptocracy and authoritarianism. And it's hard to disagree with that..and conclude by questioning whether Navalny's very purity of purpose may be a problem - and the lessons for the West"

The Faux Ideologies of Late-Stage Putinism

The Kremlin has come up with a faux ideology designed to rally support for President Vladimir Putin. […] people are being asked to believe in a series of dogmas such as “Russia is a young civilization that cannot be defeated by an aging West,” “the authorities and society at large share a common goal,” and “Russians are inclined toward collectivism, sacrifice, and state service.”

@HiroProtagonist

We lost a #Libertarian counter balance with the passing of Yuri. He was a friend of #MurrayRothbard, a friend of #RonPaul, and a proper #Misesian economist.

Yet Yuri was in a position to call bullshit on pundits in the Libertarian sphere (like #DanielMcAdams) who held up #Putin as an honest figure abused by our corrupt Elite grand strategists.

#Putinism is not an alternative, it is the kind of Elite Mafia system our Elites want to emulate.

A pox on all their houses.

@newsopinionsandviews ATF and DEA can be defunded IMHO but we both know they just want rampant #Oligarchy and #AnarchoCapitalism of the #Putinism kind and not freedom...

Cuz they're facists...

@noellemitchell indeed. Also revealed on that he is putinist. Plain and simple.

".. a “conservative isolationist ideology” for Putin’s 2024 campaign back in late 2021, before Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. At the time, according to the source, Kremlin spin doctors intended for the idea of “anti-Western conservatism” to gradually replace that of the “Russian world” in officials’ and propagandists’ rhetoric; voters would be sold an image of Russia as a “self-contained state https://meduza.io/en/feature/2023/03/17/russia-s-guardian-of-traditional-values #Putinism #FarRight #Russia #CultureWars #Conservatism

I am just wondering why #China is suddenly so upset about the #blockade of #TikTok #Xiamomi #Bytedance
The #CCP #dictatorship #Xijinping has the great #firewall and doesn't want certain info to leave the country and blocks info from outside the country.
China has accused the US EU Canada of overreacting after federal employees were ordered to remove the video app TikTok from government-issued phones, while it blocks its own people from getting free info!
And than a Chinese spokesman starts talking like this;
"The US government should respect the principles of market economy and fair competition, stop suppressing the companies and provide an open, fair and non-discriminatory environment for foreign companies in the US."
Really? #Putinism gets more popular by the day in dictatorships!

Statement from Russian #Socialist Movement - 19th Feb 2023

https://newpol.org/we-say-war-against-war/

For a year now, Vladimir Putin’s regime has been killing Ukrainians, sending hundreds of thousands of Russians to their deaths, and threatening the world with nuclear weapons..
Unfortunately, not all the “peace” rallies taking place next weekend will be actions of solidarity with #Ukraine. A large part of the left in the West does not understand the nature of this war and advocates compromise with #Putinism

"Sociologist Grigory Yudin was one of just a few Russian experts who believed in February 2022 that a military clash between Russia and Ukraine was inevitable.
In February 2023, Meduza special correspondent Margarita Liutova spoke to Yudin about why Putin needs a “forever war,” and what might ensure the emergence of a broad anti-war movement in Russia".

“Keith Gessen speaks with friends—some who stayed in Moscow after the war began, and others who fled—about the post-Soviet period and the era of Putinism, and he provides an illuminating glimpse of life within and beyond an increasingly repressive political regime, where some observers fear there is room for things to still get worse.”

I'm not exactly surprised that Code Pink was supposed to attend the Putinist/neo-nazi/authcom "anti-war event" in DC today.

Neither am I all that surprised when their speaker canceled at the last minute too.

If she hadn't, Code Pink's audience may have had a "are we the baddies?" moment.

🧵I’m increasingly convinced that #Putin and “Putinism” have been made possible by the accumulation of resentments across the Russian society. #Putinism has emerged from Russians’ inability to accept that they lost the Cold War because the Soviet Union could no longer compete 1/

#Putinism is akin to the Dolchstoßlegende that emerged in Germany after its 1918 loss in Wold War I. It argued that the great German people were never defeated, but betrayed by cowardly politicians-stabbed in the back. That German legend fueled DEU interwar national resentment.2/
