  • What gave you the idea that I’m dismissing them?

    You, you said “Russian-style authoritarian oligarchy, Islamofascism, or a Venezuela-style “socialism” in which the narrative only focuses on poverty.”

    This is blatantly false. And you don’t even know what the alternatives are or aren’t. Russia isn’t an systemic alternative, it’s the very same capitalist as in west, just 100 years late and too late to develop imperialism, it’s only a political alternative which forced them, after over 2 decades of trying to join the capitalist core, to finally oppose it. Islamofascism is such a fucking blatant Bush-era propaganda that i won’t even comment on that nonsense. Venezuela don’t even have socialism, again it’s not an alternative, it’s a capitalist economy which was forced into politically opposing capitalist core because of over century of brutal exploitation by that core.

    All three examples your presented are the same narration (even more extreme in case of islam) than the billionaire owned western media oligopoly and their political arms like US DoS spreads. You don’t try to know more (some of examples are in this very thread, and the actual alternatives like China too), you dismiss them in the exact manner the capitalist core ruling class wants you.


  • I think the real issue is that no viable alternative is presented to most people.

    As Marx said, “the ideas of ruling class are the ruling ideas”

    The alternatives presented are Russian-style authoritarian oligarchy, Islamofascism, or a Venezuela-style “socialism” in which the narrative only focuses on poverty.

    Funnily enough you are proof of your previous statement above. The ruling class is presenting any, both better or worse alternatives to you in such form that you immediately dismiss them.




  • to what Russia is doing in Africa or Belarus where they actually install puppets.

    Belarus under Lukashenko was at first opposed to Yeltsin’s Russia, then tried to become neutral until USA and their Polish and Baltic puppets organised coup there which finally forced Belarus to side with Russia, but all that time Russia didn’t installed anything there, it’s the same government there.

    And did you just suggest that the antiimperialist coups in Sahel countries are just Russia’s doing? I mean it would be great if Russia was such an antiimperialist activist, but no such luck there.
