Shocker, I know

Read, :LIB: https://2018.navalny.com/en/platform/

The program includes, but is not limited to:

  • Privatization, including medicine and pensions funds ( See what's happening in Ukraine after their medical system was privatized in post 2015 reforms), "To reduce state involvement into the economy as an owner and an operator."

  • Deregulating business and tax cuts (bc fuck the workers amirite I LOVE small business owners),

  • "transition from oligarchic to social capitalism." If you ask nicely, the oligarchs will give up being the ruling class and be subservient and pay taxes

  • " Hundreds of billions of rubles that Russia spends on wars in Syria and Ukraine should rather be spend on improving the quality of life back home." :who-must-go:

  • "Russia needs a visa regime with the countries of Transcaucasia and Middle Asia. Migrant workers should arrive on working visas, and not uncontrollably like they do now." Fuck brown people, they don't live horribly after the break up of the USSR and forced to be migrant workers.

OHHH and my favorite of all,

"Conduct a lustration. " right wing witch hunt in a presidential program ,
:panting: :panting: :panting: used against communists after the collapse of the eastern block, recently carried out in Ukraine after the 2014 "revolution" against any political dissidents (ended up destroying the centrist party and banning the communist party + murder and kidnapping but who's counting those lol)

As a chapo previously linked, here is a leftist thread on Navalny's fascistic leanings

If you know Russian, watch this, summarizes my view pretty well, by a marxist. Here's the same but in text format, for your google translate needs

Obviously, Putin is a heck. Fuck him. But if I see a leftist support Navalny, that leftist should probably follow this on tw*tter.

P.S. Here's another hot take: China doesn't have concentration camps BUT Russia certainly kills of all opposition that threaten Putin. Why? Well the German Military said it was novichok, so novichok it is.

        It is more of a "lesser evilism" support, because liberal opposition is absolutely hated by majority of Russians, while Putin present himself as defender against them.

            The communist party of communist Russians is to the communist party of Russia is what Party of Communists U.S.A is to Communist Party of the U.S.A is.

            Aka revolutionary ml parties that split from the main party due to the revisionist-reformist tendencies of the main party's leadership

      All you need to do is :vote: to get the oligarchs out. But seriously oligarch influence over the Russian government is insane. There is a common misconception that "Putin reigned in" oligarchs. IMO Putin is actually unbelievably weak, only being able to pacify competing oligarch groups, by offering concessions like promising not to nationalize and not implementing progressive tax rates on super profits, in return for oligarch support and them paying taxes. They have direct access to the government. Unlike the working class in the country, the oligarchs know their position, organizing into an organization which has directly has the power to make the executive branch of government implement certain policy (They literally can call Putin in for meetings and have ministers answer their questions, it is fucked. Think Mark Zuckerberg in congress but switched around, with Zuckerberg being a Minister and the congress Panel being a panel of representatives of Oligarchs.). That is why, any Russian president will likely be a useless shit, as even someone like Putin, who apparently is a DICTATOR and a strongman, in reality has no fucking power. Sorry for the rant, it is just so fucking bleak :sadness:
