“Every CIA funded social movement which evidently is a result of Western destabilisation & interference is actually just the ordinary people desiring to become a vassal for the US-led imperialism and the Western media never lies. Everyone who’s anti-imperialist is a Putinist authoritarian commie redfash tankie. Long live the US-led imperialism and rules-based international order! 🏦 📈 🇺🇸 🫡 🦅 🚀 🎆”
– Western “leftists” & “anarchists”
Putinism unfortunately does exist, but it’s way less common than neoliberals say it is.
I wouldn’t even call that “putinism” though, since it don’t have any defining characteristics outside of the usual grab and hold office opportunism. What is defining for it is a think elements of bonapartism, since Putin does try to stand on multiple class political support legs just as Napoleons did. He does it better though since he have something that really unite almost all of Russia - unwillingness to go back to 90’s.
spot on!
