Is Russia good or bad?

The spectre of communism still haunts NeoRussia. That's why Putin is forced to rely on Soviet nostalgia. The population feels, imo rightfully, that they have been screwed by capitalism and American imperialism. Instead of dismissing all Russians as mindless slaves to Putler, we should stand in solidarity with Russian workers. 5:02 rapping grandma vs smug neocon hipster.

Russia hasn't dropped any nukes yet. Disappointing job upholding posadism.

to remain in power forever

cuz a lot of russians like the old ussr, so he gives them some bullshit about it to make them like him.

It's a necessary evil that will eventually topple American hegemony.

Play CS:GO with bydlo Russians and ask them what they think of Putin. Go on /int/ and ask Russians what they think of Putin.

There are a few Zyuganov supporters. I won't deny that. But that actually goes to show that Russia is more less or… free? I dunno. You can be an edgelord faggot leftist in Russia. Hell… you can be a faggot in Russia. You just have to watch out for some Tesak-like gopnik who wants to bash you.

wow, what a utopia.
can think what you want AND you can be gay as long as it isnt around the wrong people?
best place ever.

but Tesak got a prison sentence

Yes, those groups that are wholly representative of an entire nation's working class, gamers and chan shitters.

...

>HAY EVERYBODY I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO HATE AMERICA

Yeah, it's important to take the relationship between American hegemony and the global system of capitalism into account. It is not the Russians who run the IMF/ World Bank/Wall Street/NATO or the SilliconValley surveillance industrial complex.

If they ever managed to oust America as the world superpower and take their place they would be.

Hence why I said Tesak-like.

Stop believing in "utopia." You are shitposting in complete freedom and have a standard of incomparable to anything mankind has ever had.

Gopniks aren't a problem of the duma. I'm sorry. You're probably as likely to get bashed for being a poofter here in Australia than you are in Russia. The big 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧institutions🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 have a big song and dance about equality and tolerance but the fact remains… we just don't like poofters.

...

yea, like the time when he was whining how bolsheviks fucked with the natural cource of russian history, and how Niko dindu nuffin
or when he spewed bullshit how SU didn't produce anything except galoshes
this Putin's comment caused so much russian butthurt, that faggot learned to keep his mouth shut

That is really unlikely, despite what CNN and HuffPost would have you believe. Russia is a third world country with negative population growth, saddled by debt and sanctions, the only thing driving support for Putin is the external threat represented by the U.S.

t. Bruce

Putin fucking hates the USSR. He has openly attacked Lenin and other socialist institutions. It's important to remember that he is a multi-billionaire and has no interest in bringing communism back.

I know it's unlikely. My point is that Russia is a booj state like any other and given the opportunity would leap at the prospect of being at the helm of the capitalist system like America currently is.

That doesn't mean that you should side with pro-American liberals though.

It doesn't mean we should unconditionally always side with America's enemies either. We should pragmatically consider what's up on a case by case basis.

Ya all just don't understand Russians.

Pretty much.

I'd also like to ask Holla Forums… if Russia could go from redflag waving commie poofterdom to being just a another tri-color country with an AWFUL market economy (with your usual bullshit resource monopolies and of course international brands) in just a generation, why should we believe in any permanence in your pozzed leftism? If it was so good you'd think that the people would do better to hang on to it right?

The final nail in the coffin of communism shouldn't be the fall of the Soviet Union but the prosperity of the Russian federation.

lol, yeah, let's just pretend that the massive tragedy that was post-Soviet 90s Russia didn't happen

Does not exist. Prosperity for some oil oligarchs and gangsters, sure.

Ah, just like the prosperity of Equatorial Guinea.

I prefer rubles over shekels

I'm not. See I told you that there was a brief window where kikes went full oligarch. But thankfully Putin fucked them up.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Get the right flag faggot

But Russia no longer part of the Soviet Union. That's because there is no Soviet Union. It collapsed because communism failed. The flag that OP posted is the flag of the Russian Federation. The Russian Federation is not communist and is somewhat prosperous.

Did I mention the part where Russia is no longer communist?

No it "collapsed" after the US sabotaged it with capitalism. Funny how that works.

Have a (You).

there hasn't been any significant communist presence in Russia since the 1930s

Russia still has a way to go but you can't deny it hasn't gotten better since 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧Yeltsin🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 and the 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧communism🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

YES~! Here I am, a nazi doing the triple parenthesis. And here you are, a faggot, saying "IT WASN'T REAL COMMUNISM."

autism incarnate

oy vey, as long as they get more shekels that means they are full of chutzpa and can afford more yarmulkes and challah!

You love our autism.

we can agree on that at least

worlds not that simple op

Yeah because being starving under Jewshit communism is really where you wanted compared to being a modern day Adidas wearing, Hard Bass pumping bydlo playing CS:GO all day.

it's gotten better since one of the worst things that ever happened to russia, yes.

i wear adidas and listen to hard bass and smoke cigs on my balcony all day. but id rather be building my country

it collapsed thanks to perestroika and reactionary leadership who wanted all the good aspects of communism and all the "good" aspects of capitalism/being a rich imperialist nation. sadly thats not how it works and the elected leadership did not realize the reality of the situation.

top fucking kek
now show me stats of the structure of their industrial production
GDP rise is achieved by low value-added production, means natural resources
Russia doesn't even refines their own oil, they fuckin buy it

only high value-added industries left in russia are wapons industry and space industry, and even they're half-dead

look at these sluts. just look at them. fucking posing for a selfie instead of doing their fuckig job. and how much makeup that one has put on jesus christ.

They're both coated in decadence.
NAZBOL WILL WIN

WASN'T REAL COMMUNISM!!! I-i-it was the reactionaries spooked by the bourg. Alienation is why I can't get a girlfriend.

I'm in Australia. Yes. We do export raw commodities and don't add value to it. I'm not too happy about that. But we certainly aren't suffering for it.

you're living australia you bitch of course you're suffering

But Russia literally was not communist under Yeltsin you tard

...

and that's why you will be a China's bitch

Next time lead with this so we can know you're retarded ahead of time

Have you been reading any of my posts? I don't think anybody is saying Yeltsin was good. Yeltsin was just a pawn for Jew interests to go full robber baron/oligarch. Putin kept that shit in check.

Nah uh. I got Tim Tams and interracial porn.

Tumblr, is that you?

Why is it on a board about leftist politics/economic theory you have to hate on conventionally attractive women? Go away! They don't want your idPol here.

you didn't know already?

I'm usually charitable enough to distinguish between autists and tards

Pleb.

It's the nazi who whiteknights for two slags who shouldn't be doing what they are pretending to do in first place alright then

Put them in Israeli IDF uniforms. Hell… put them in red army uniforms and I'd still fuck them. It wouldn't be the first time I fucked a commie either.

I agree they are slags. But they're hot slags.

Like I said. I'm not too happy about it. Do you people have trouble reading?

We aren't suffering now but we will later and that's why I want to do something about the neoliberal shitcunts who run this country and Gina Rhinehart's fat arse. You can even help.

Or you can be "reactionary" fuckwits and masturbate to your dead European philosophers.

That's what an ultraturbopleb teenager would say.

In any uniform they'd be basic af

But my post wasn't all about muh dik. It was also about my concerns about capitalists exploiting our natural resources. I wouldn't give pleb teenagers that much credit.

Let me guess… you're an overweight woman of color?

Yes it was. Your taste is bad and you should feel bad.

that is one dank infographic, ya sure convinced me :^)

wow great contribution keep posting we're all just dying to read more

Good, ut not ass good as they used to.

Off on every single category. Amazing. Those bitches are mediocre at best, no need to get asspained about it

...

Are you the Tumblr?

Okay. You can hear about Russia from Russians or you can idealize your dead mensheviks/bolsheviks that didn't give a fuck about Russians.

I just assumed because "basic bitch" seems to be Twitterspeak for "I hate whyte women wit dey pumpkin spice lattes stealin our mans." And they're okay. They're mediocre at worst. 7/10 at best. Hectic eyebrows are not my first choice but I'm very hetero so I would bang.

Dem Yeltsin years. :( Good thing Putin sorted it out.

My point is that the "prosperity" of Russia is entirely one sided and based on natural resources. It doesn't benefit everyone the way the prosperity of the USSR did.

The only difference between Putin and Yeltsin in tis regard is that Yeltsin was a slave to the oligarchs while the oligarchs are slaves to Putin. The country is still rife with oligarchs and the ones that get on Putin's good side are particularly empowered.

bourgeois bullshit.
100% trash like all modern nation states.

I'm sure your corporate masters care about you so much user :^)

Your taste in women is bad. I don't know why you think anyone who isn't into trashy eastern Euros is Tumblr. It makes me wonder if there's some pleb vision filter at work here.

If the USSR was truly as bad as Solzhenitsyn says it was he would not have lived to tell of it.

If lybia went from a social capitalist dictatorship to a slave society in just 5 years, why should we believe in any permanence of capitalism?

Oh wait, nothing is permanent, everything is in constant decay, things only happen because you work for it. Welcome to reality, mr "eternal reich" nazi.

What prosperity?

lying is a standing tradition in notsocdom

Its even worse than America now.

let me guess, OP is a Holla Forumsack trying to fish for russian hacker replies cause he thinks we're liberals?

...

Putin is secretly /ourguy/ on stealth mode. The liberal idealists of the left can't understand this so they bash him for not suicidally revealing his power level entirely.

a. stop talking about your dick, no one gives a fuck

b. you come in here screeching about how the return of capitalism was so great for the USSR, get btfo'd by facts, then revert to calling people twitter/tumblr

your posts are shit, please leave

Proofs.

...

...

Putin IS an oligarch you fucking retard.

I hope you are the only retard using that flag to defend one imperialism against another, because you tarnish the reputation of MLs as a result. Otherwise use shitposting flags like this.

he only imprisons oligarchs who are his political enemies. Russia is run by a gang of oligarchs who occasionally compete with each other for influence.
