Dude, you’re repeating Russian propaganda over and over.
West the same way as Russia is a victim of neoliberalism. When soviet union collapsed due to keeping the power in the hands of the same people for way too long, then neoliberalism kicked in the same way as in whole Europe.
Transformation in the east block created many oligarchs, oligarchs choose who will rule, and they support far right as much as possible.
And when western Europe choose democracy, because cold war pushed west governments to create middle class, east block people never had this opportunity. Easy block collapsed, all the goods, factories and so one, instead of being given to regural people, was stolen by the rulling class. I’m from Poland, so this is exact what happened. And then right authoritarian regime in Russia start to blame minorities like LGBT people for situation in country.
And then years after, west countries were fighting and winnings things like keeping high social benefits and winning rights for minorities, countries like Russia was way behind. Keeping power in a hands of rulling class, oligarchs, like in Russia or Ukraine. Always leads to collapse.
One of the ways for Russia to gain more power is to weakening Europe. Oligarchs and rulling class in Russia is not going to let go, they are living like tzar family when regular people are starving. They need weak and broken Europe to at least have some power in region. In Europe no one wants to be ally of Russian far right wing regime.
Btw Russia is not progressive, it’s a right wing authoritarian regime that is trying to replicate tzar imperium times, with oligarchs on top. And regular people on the bottom. With hated for anyone who is different.
I wish for Russia to have revolution again, so normal people could get the power, and oligarchs will be you know where
Just to clarify a few thing I don’t support Russia beyond them a pole against us imperialism at this current time. I also never claimed they were progressive please stop strawmanning me you shitlib loser and try engage with what I’m actually saying.
All that being said, you are reciting liberal mythology and pretending it has any weight as serious analysis. “Russian propaganda” is doing all the intellectual labor for you. You invoke it whenever reality contradicts the story you were taught. It just goes to show how deeply invested in western chauvanism you are.
You keep pretending the West is some fellow victim of neoliberalism alongside Russia. That is absurd. Western Europe and the US were not passive sufferers. They were the architects and beneficiaries of neoliberalism. IMF structural adjustment, World Bank debt traps, privatization schemes, EU accession shocks, and global financial domination were imposed by Western capital on the rest of the world. Russia and Eastern Europe were looted. The Global South was super exploited. Western corporations made record profits.
Your welfare states did not fall from the sky because “democracy was chosen.” They were built on imperial extraction.
Western Europe funded its middle class through the super exploitation of Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the periphery. Cheap resources, stolen labor, unequal exchange, and military domination paid for your social benefits. When that imperial margin began shrinking, austerity became the name of the game. That alone proves it was never moral capitalism. It was imperial rent-sharing.
Social democracy that you seem to hold in such high regard is not socialism. It is capitalism bribing one section of workers with wealth extracted from the rest of the world.
That is why your welfare collapsed the moment the USSR fell and anti-imperialist movements were crushed. The money stopped flowing. So the mask came off.
You keep saying oligarchs controlling society leads to collapse. Correct. That is capitalism. Not “Russian authoritarian culture.” Capital accumulation produces oligarchy everywhere. The US has oligarchs. Germany has oligarchs. Poland has oligarchs. Elections do not remove them because capital owns the economy before voting even begins.
Calling Western capitalism “democracy” and Eastern capitalism “authoritarianism” is childish.
You talk about minorities as if hatred originates from Russian propaganda. No. Reaction grows when material security collapses. People turn toward nationalism when housing, wages, healthcare, and stability disappear. Liberal identity rhetoric cannot substitute for bread. When capitalism fails to reproduce life, fascism appears. This is basic historical materialism.
You also keep pretending Russia is some unique imperial monster trying to resurrect the tsar. Meanwhile the US maintains 800 military bases, sanctions half the planet, invades countries openly, and dictates economic policy across continents. But somehow Russia is the singular threat to world stability. That belief did not come from analysis. It came from Western media saturation.
You are angry at oligarchs yet defend the system that produces them.
You want revolution in Russia while defending the same capitalist structure in Europe that would crush such a revolution instantly if it ever threatened property relations.
That contradiction is not accidental. It is social democracy.
Social democracy is not the alternative to fascism. It is its moderate wing. It preserves capitalism during stability and collapses into repression when crisis returns. Historically, social democrats disarmed the working class, defended private property, and handed power to fascists rather than allow socialist transformation. Germany already taught this lesson once.
You are not describing material reality. You are repeating the moral language of the empire.
You replaced dialectical materialism with NATO talking points and think that makes you progressive.
The far right is not rising because Russians whispered in Europe’s ear.
It is rising because capitalism is decaying, imperial privilege is shrinking, and liberalism has nothing left to offer but blame.
Until you confront that, you will keep chasing villains abroad while fascism grows at home.
