Nah, pretty sure these are the actual fascists
You're like baby Goebbels thinking that if you just repeat your propaganda enough times it'll become the truth.
So are you saying that Putin or the russian government however defined is left of those?
Anybody with even a minimally functioning brain understands that they are.
Calling Putin in any sense left is absolutely wrong. The left is not exactly thriving in Russia is it?
Last I checked KPRF has 30% of the vote in Russia and is the main opposition, but let's not let facts get in the way of you spewing bullshit.
Sure, even if true, you are defending the government, not the opposition
Edit: I mean tell us, what left wing policies are pushed forward in Russia?
Pointing out basic facts isn't defending anything.
here you go ignoramus https://archive.ph/9tMtq
"In Russia under Mafia rule we get four weeks of vacation" WTF???? I mean that is some great advancement of left thinking. We let the mob rule and get some base holidays in return that are more than in the US but less than EU. Are you for real?
You asked what left wing policies exist in Russia and I gave you examples. You're so bad at trolling.
Four weeks holidays are not left wing policies unless you think of the EU as socialist. Nothing in the reddit quote you sent sound left wing in any sense. Unions? Taxing wealth? Your post doesn't mention anything like this. Instead it refers to the mob.
Nobody is claiming Russia is socialist. However, it clearly has better workers protections than many western countries. Your claim that Russia is fascist does not hold any water. It's just a regular capitalist shithole that mirrors the west.
Mate, it clearly doesn't. I mean your own link refers to Russia being run by the mob. Many EU countries have still unions with power. So, really what are you talking about better worker protections? That is utterly absurd!
LMFAO imagine claiming that labour has any power in the EU. What I'm talking about is your imbecilic claim that Russia is fascist. Using your own definition, the whole west is fascist.
I never defended the West. You defended Putin and that is the part that is absurd.
I never defended anything. I simply pointed out basic facts of the situation. You seem to intentionally conflate that with making some sort of a moral judgment.
You absolutely defended Putin trying to make him sound left wing. Why?
I absolutely do not, but being utterly intellectually dishonest you're going to keep repeating that.
Yogthos quite clearly is taking the stance that the Russian Federation is right-wing, but not far-right like the nationalist dominated Ukraine, which has increased the influence of neo-Nazi factions like Azov and upholds Stepan Bandera, a Nazi collaborating anti-Communist. This doesn't make Russia a Left-wing paradise, just not far-right like Ukraine.
