Tsar Nicky also viewed Japanese people as “monkeys”.
Get a load of this "respecter of past leaders" :trump-anguish:
"I told my son the USSR went out one day to get cigarettes and pizza, and that someday it will be back"
Lots of racist lib cope in that study. "Oh, they want Stalin because they want a strong Tsar, because the Russian people are a servile irresponsible race"
They're a group of Gorbachev-aligned former Soviet dissidents that looted and ran off with the Soviet's public opinion office and now do puff pieces with US think tank money. So yeah, they're racist libs pandering to US prejudice.
Pravda of course is not above using it for propaganda, as they should.
Maglev trains zip past concrete brutualist structures topped with trees, solar panels, and overflowing with blooming flowers. The caption below says 2066: Neo-Soviet Union
The USSR but with gadgets and consumer goods was basically Khrushchev's vision after Stalin put the Soviets behind the iron curtain and didnt support the Greek comunists, but that vision couldnt work without imperialist exploitation like the west was doing for cheap labor or cheap resources OR without a mass national level cybersyn coordinating enough of the economy. A modern cyber USSR could absolutely deliver the goods and bring that vision into a reality. It could completely heal Russia's woes and it would advance the internationalist communist cause for another more advanced economy to become more socialist. If they can pull off another 1917, I hope we actually get, like Germany or the US workers following along.
For anyone who hasn't read The People's Republic of Walmart -- it's good, and gets into exactly how such a moderned, computerized, planned economy could work.
the right-wing coups of 1989 were an unmitigated disaster for the world
Don't they know that the state isn't supposed to have responsibility for your well-being?
uh you understand this is an article by a russian publication?
No no no, Yeltsin was right, it was those pernicious hardliners who tried to coup
Man, I'd love to be a part of the brain drain out of the West if a new USSR popped up.
Fuckin hell, :parenti: was right. The fall of the USSR really did give American capitalists the leverage to put the screws to the working class. If there was some socialist project that we could defect to and leave our garbage ass student/medical/emergency debt behind that would be amazing.
Man, I’d love to be a part of the brain drain out of the West if a new USSR popped up.
same
wait till you look at the central asian countries, tajikistan is at like 80%
In general, 76% of respondents speak positively about the USSR, 38% are neutral, and only 7% negatively.
Hell yeah they got 120% of people to respond.
2 things would have to happen at least, the KPRF getting purged of opportunists and the economy of Russia shitting itself harder than it is right now
I would say very slim. I remember Russians are too weary of regime change. They had too much changes. That is why putin is still in power. People who hate putin still vote for him because they don't want change. According to a lib leaning Russian I saw on quarora
How popular is the Communist Party in Russia? I get if people want it's return in a general sense, but is there any real movement?
The KPRF is like the second largest party after Putin's ruling United Russia party, they are very problematic in terms of nationalism and social issues though. I read that a lot of the functionaries are merely careerists but there are genuine communists in the party.
To clarify for anyone wondering about a some of those social issues: KPRF is terrible when it comes to LGTB+ issues
Second most popular after Putin’s party, but the party itself is controlled opposition. The people’s support does exist, though
