          My ‘hot’ take is that your unsubstantiated assertion is contradicted by Putin’s history. He was on the anti-communist side in the 90s, he has been against any sort of return to a planned economy throughout his terms, he has been in favour of stuff like monetisation of welfare, etc.

          It’s extremely silly to assert that he wants to ‘bring back his glorious USSR’ when his actions directly contradict that.

              Notice how all the analysis thenother person did was about the actions he’s taken and not the things he’s said because everybody here not only knows he’s a liar but knows that actions speak louder than words.

              You’re the one confusing words and actions, right from the get go when you said “let’s do an expirement” and then made a completely uncontroversial statement.

              Liberals are literally incapable of material analysis, they literally just make decisions based on what propoganda was presented to them most recently.

      The liberal anti-communist wants to restore worker power and internationalism? The multi-billionaire that only pays lip service to communist aesthetics to maintain support among the older nostalgic generations wants to abdicate power to a system of democratic centralism?

            I get paid to do it, so at least some people believe so.

            Why didn’t you answer my other questions, you’re replying to my replies for other people, but not the ones directed at you?

            It really doesn’t cause a little itch in the back of your head to ignore the dozens of good faith replies you keep getting to make these shitlib reddit comments instead.

            Do you legitimately consider yourself to be an honest and serious person?

        Putin wanted to be a western lapdog so bad he even asked to join NATO and helped the Americans wage the War on Terror. The West didn’t accept that, because they wanted every non-western country to be absolutely subservient and exploitable.

      You are trolling right? Dear god tell me you are a troll. Putin hates Communism, he blamed the war on the USSR giving autonomy to Ukraine in the first place. If you want to say he is a Tsarist that would be dumb but closer to the truth. This is just pure brainrot. Motherfucker was part of what was called the Yeltsin Family, the clique of capitalists selling out the USSR to the west. Why would he destroy the USSR only to weakly try to bring back small portions of its territory decades later?

      You have no coherence, you have only knee-jerk responses based on regurgitated ideology

      Sorry to spam you with replies but, while it is true that he’s an irredentist, the idea that he has loyalty to the actual USSR when he is one of the people who helped kill it is completely ridiculous. He is not a communist and makes no secret of that fact.

      Do you have any evidence of Putin wishing to reinstate the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics? Why is Putin moving in a Capitalist direction, rather than Socialist? Why is the conflict specifically centered around regions of Ukraine, not the entirety, and why Ukraine specifically?

      Do you believe history to be decided by Great Men, or by Material Conditions?

      He and his party are the liberals who carried out a coup and then formally dissolved the USSR against the wishes of the public, then spent the next twenty years eagerly collaborating with the US, sucking up to the US, and being propped up by the US. Even now he’s just a sad old liberal trailing after the American far right and implementing American style reactionary laws in the hopes that they’ll finally accept him, even with the ongoing war to keep American nukes from being parked a stone’s throw away from Moscow.
