Sometimes the simplest explanation is the best explanation. You cannot understand Vladimir Putin and his war against Ukraine unless you understand that he is a Marxist-Leninist.

God damn, this is written worse than shitposts on Hexbear.![data-laughing data-laughing](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/b6671e8e-7f34-45d6-82d3-509fe8a4d683.png)
His entire argument is Putin is from USSR and here are some random quotes.
Now I'm inspired to write an article on "Putin the Joseph Smith-ite" or "Putin the Neo-Platonist" and submit it to a conservative journal.
Amazing. I would order the physical copy of "Putin the Neo-Platonist".

I said it more as respect for the level of rigor on Hexbear than anything.
This guy writes like shit but is a Ph.D. and "leading historian". Fuck me.

Not necessarily. I didn't mean it like that. I don't think a Ph.D. means you are intelligent, but it should reflect some skill and it always creates greater job access. It's a class difference. This guy went through various levels of higher education and writes like crap but can still land a job writing and keep it, in part due to having a Ph.D. and in part due to anti-Communist grift, while there are some posters here who aren't at the same educational level and might have some working class job but write excellent mini-disserations on radical history on the regular totally without financial benefit. That's what I meant.
