Why does the CPRF (Communist Party of the Russian Federation) work with the Far-Right LDPR (Liberal Democratic Party of Russia) and the ruling United Russia party. The leader of the party, Zyuganov also likes Putin and supports less regulated small and medium enterprise, Traditionalism, and Orthodox Christianity.
Is the CPRF just an Ultranationalist group that use Communist symbols - Should we support them?
1. source? 2. No do you think they need yours? who do you think you are? nobody depends on you, less so the KPRF
Brandon Barnes
Even if they are, I like the Idea of the Far-Left and Far-Right making peace. The CPRF and LDPR working togeter reminds me of that quote by Lenin: "Diversity in thought unity in action".
Isn't this his theory in practice done right? The Left and Right working togeter for a better world.
Jack Allen
CPRF is a Putinist controlled opposion party. Completely sanctioned by his regime.
David Allen
In it's current state, yes.
You'd expect the party to be Marxist-Leninist, but in reality the Marxist-Leninists are only a faction in the CPRF, alongside the Left Nationalists (just Russian nationalists with a hard-on for Soviet symbolism, Zyuganov belongs to this faction) and Reformists (SocDem liberals) No.
Lucas Ward
Even Putin is changing his tune a bit, even if the the CPRF is paied off by him.
Alexander Phillips
So like Stalinists. How is this bad again?
Christian Cox
Since they both support Plutarch in chief Putin, apparently not. It's more like the proof that right wingers and communist-branded right wingers can work together.
Anthony Garcia
They're completely incompatible.
Bentley Johnson
Because Stalinism was state capitalism and alienated Western communist.
Even though they're polar opposites?
Aaron Sanders
But it seems like it is working, just like Lenin said.
The CRPF is seen as the spiritual successors of the CPSU.
Owen Gomez
Don't you think that's more of an indictment of the USSR than anything?
Jose Anderson
They are the last ones carrying the torch of the Soviet Union… I… I just can't find it in myself to hate them…
Adrian Sanchez
This. We need a red-brown alliance.
Isaac Bell
Cool, fuck off. We dont want libtards like you anywhere near socialism anyways. CPRF is probably one of the few remaining Marxist organizations out there, and any real leftist worth their salt would show solidarity for them.
Dominic Fisher
Bleeding to death and shitting ourselves at the same time?
Easton Cox
In recent years, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation has also shown tendency of moving towards Dengism. The First Secretary Gennady Zyuganov also expressed that they should learn from China's successful example and build Russian Socialism. He also encouraged all party members to read "Selective work of Deng Xiaoping". He said during his visit to China in 2008: "If we have been learning the successful experience from the Chinese earlier, the Soviet Union would not have dissolved."
Anthony Baker
Nice wikipedia citation, kiddo. Feel free to provide a real argument. Also, China has successfully transitioned back to Maoism and is a shining example of socialism, where the state owns the means production on behalf of the working class, which is why it's outcompeting the USA in every aspect
I like the CPRF becasue they are not butthurt about working with the Right.
Even if Zyuganov is paied off by Putin.
Andrew Williams
Because they are fucking right wing. They're nazbols if anything.
Asher Nelson
This. Liberalism needs to be combated against by the communist left and the CPRF are one of the only ones doing so.
Nolan Hall
The CPRF are Marxist Leninists, anti-capitalists, anti-imperialists who stand in solidarity with socialist nations and the revolutions that created them (Bolshevik, Chinese, Cuban, Korean etc.).
If that's right wing, nothing is left wing.
Gabriel Cruz
KPRF is quite okay for current Russian standards, they're not a proper opposition against Poutine but at least they're not cucksuckers like LDPR. Still far from ideal though.
Zachary Garcia
Hush, they are Left-Nationalists that love the Soviet Union.
Holla Forums should be Pro-CPRF…
Connor Davis
They love Stalinism, something even the actual USSR was smart enough to disavow once he died. They represent a blend of the worst tendencies of Putin's Russia and the conservatives of the USSR.
Kevin James
They're a bit too Putinist, but that applies to pretty much everybody but Yabloko and PARNAS
Jose Ortiz
yes, thats why you never trust tankoos
Angel Martinez
...
Andrew Gomez
CPRF is the way to go lads, even tho I don't agree with every point of their agenda.
I'm glad you are irrelevant.
Samuel Rivera
not an argument
Brayden Foster
Ultranationalism is under the umbrella of identity politics
Dylan Price
Lmao.
Andrew Long
it's funny that people that follow the school of Goebbels, repetition of lies making a truth, are accusing the KPRF of nationalism the irony
Jaxson Sanders
Scratch away a Trot and you'll find a Nazi, it was true back then and it's true today
Hudson Wood
pls answer first question
John Wood
Critically examine an ML and you'll find a state capitalist.
Brody Smith
CPRF includes a ton of legit commies (young academics and older Soviet people) but includes some right-wing planks in their platform to stay viable in modern Russia.
CPRF wants a return to NEP as a "stepping stone to socialism"
Jace Williams
This is good though.
The CPRF should be supported by us.
Noah Baker
Bump.
Levi Rogers
you're fucking retarded if I may say so myself. China now has a big private sector, commodity production and the law of value still apply due to their fucking liberalized market together with private capital accumulation, and before I finish this up with alienation of the worker's still being present - don't forget fucking WAGE LABOR. Oh, and this also cnbc.com/2016/02/24/china-has-more-billionaires-than-us-report.html
I do secretly hope you're joking tho'
Joshua Smith
Fighting liberalism without fighting capitalism is reactionary because CPRF as a whole does not challenge the capitalist status quo in Russia. And they are a part of the dominant political system, which means they'll never change anything. In short, support them against liberalism if you want, but remember that they are not revolutionary enough to even call themselves "communist".
Thomas Hall
Everyone is a state capitalist for AnCap.
Are SocDem. That's all there is to say.
No, it shouldn't be. As long as they have stooges in charge, they are useless.
Nicholas Barnes
did CPRF create their own CTR?
They will never get anywhere, they are literally controlled opposition. It's a shame they leech so much Soviet nostalgic individuals, they would be useful if they weren't part of them.
Andrew Johnson
Finally something we agree on! Remote high five!
Blake Flores
CPRF are well-known Putin shills.
Luke Green
Source of the original manga?
Daniel Evans
OP I really need the sauce on this picture for…scientific reasons.
