Of course that Russian people have way more reasons to protest. Before Russian invasion in Ukraine a lot of Russian workers and students move to Poland and Europe searching for better live. That’s why I know quite a lot of people from the east. I’m from Poland.

Quality of life is shit, few years ago Putin legalized domestic violence, police is corrupted and invigilation is sky high. All the statistics regarding quality of life, perspectives, money are shit. Either you’re living in one of few big cities, or you are very poor without running (around 20% of all households don’t have it) water and real roads. And this is going on country with huge natural resources. Oligarchs takes all the money.

Just because usa is better in imperialism than Russia that is terrorizing people of Belarus to stay with Russia, and the Chechens, this doesn’t mean that Russia is any better.

And as far as facts goes, Russia is the country that it’s authoritarian right wing regime is known for killing opposition and independent journalists. USA and mangas are slowly going towards the same but they are way behind.

America gets to bomb and murder

No one said that, please stop with the manipulations and straw man arguments.

there convinced you live in a democracy.

Everyone knows that county controlled by oligarchs it’s not democracy, Russian people knows it better than ani other, i wish for Russians to again start revolution and again get rid of oligarchs ruling class. USA is slowly going the same way.

Like I said in the beginning, in the Europe and the west we have many problems, especially in the USA. Buy still we can protest, we have ineptness journalists, Media, and we can organize. There’s so much freedom, that in the current situation where Russia is a biggest threat, you can still organize pro Russian conference or political party. In Russian people like Politkowska were killed just far criticism of the Putin’s regime, and pro Putins bots will lie about Russian genocide in Katyń, where thousands of polish intellectuals and officers were killed, goal was to destroy polish culture.

Main difference between USA, Europe, and east countries like Russia, china is that there are massive protesters, media coverage, and understanding that government is not the same as society.

How many massive protest there are in the Russian imperialism and attack on Ukraine? There were some at the beginning but people were arrested, and Russia is well known for killing journalists and opposition.

Of course USA imperialism is very bad, there is no such thing like good authoritarian power, but we know about it thanks to western media and activists. That’s why we need independent media and journalism. That’s why we need about how USA, China an many others are exploring Africa, and so on.

Don’t get me wrong, but you have to live under a rock, or be very hard indoctrinated by USA imperialistic propaganda, to ignore all the facts, movies, stories, unclassified documents.

Everyone knows what CIA did, from black community to left wing and regular people in the USA, and everyone in the rest of the world.

We know, that this type of agencies, no matter is it from USA, China, Russia, Europe, or any other place, will do very shitty things, to gain political or economic power. And it’s some sort of normal for this type of organizations. Not normal is thinking that police is here to protect regular people, or the government agencies are here to protect your freedom. Read the history book, most of this type of agencies, was formed to

a) invigilate and ruin workers/revolutionaries/rebel fronts, b) to direct arrest, and remove opponents of whoever is in power.

The same story all over the world.

While east civilization is kept under oligarchs and imperialistic assholes pretending to be “socjalist”, exploited people in the east are pretending to be happy, that working class in the west will be in the same shit very soon?

Not nice :\

We should work together against imperialism, oligarchs, and exploitation.

It will not collapse. Look on other authoritarian regimes rilled by oligarchs.

Russia, North Korea, china, an do on. Today’s invigilation methods, cameras everywhere, paid influencers, tons of agents in a potential rebellious organizations, lack of free media… In Ttese countries opposition is in a way worst situation, exploitation, lack of free media, independent courts… and there is no revolution or collapse.

Probably there will be more politic prisoners in the USA, more uniforms, attack on independent media, organizations. If these collapse, USA is fucked.

USA slowly changing into country like Russia, Izrael or China.

It was easy to predict that giving all the power to small group of oligarchs will end up like that. What’s next, complete removal of independent media or no more elections.

USA is not a democracy, two party system and oligarchs did it, techno feudalism it’s the future.

Basically every single economist who was not far far right wing/liberal, said that giving all the power to the small group of people, and removing society control over economy will fail, and it will create ultra wealth class, people without any morals, any empathy towards rest of the people. You don’t have to be a anarchist, socialist, communist, also people like Adam Smith, wrote the same thing.

From what i know, only very radical groups like Chicago Boys, promoted the model that we have right now.

It’s like with climate change. Every specialist, every one who knows the basics, is saying that you cannot pollute the world so much, and pretend that humans are not killing the ecosystem.

It doesn’t matter if a country is authoritarian or democratic

It matters a lot. Authoritarian is evil from the beginning. If you have authoritarianism, then you’re giving the power to a small group of people, therefore creating new rulling class. And as we know from the history, a lot of power in a hands of few, always corrupts.

It doesn’t matter who is your lord, or how is your master is presenting himself. Doesn’t matter if he is saying that god send him here, or his parents were kings, or he earn tons of money thanks to other people work, or he is a “working class” hero who now want to control other workers and people.

I’m not saying that i’m democrat, but it’s still better than oligarchy authoritarianism. Democracy gives you chance to change that, to at least change who is making decision, who is in power. That’s why oligarchs wants to take control of democracy, by creating one or two party system (China, USA, CCCP), or they will take control over media, and destroy independent journalism so no one knows what’s going on (Russia).

Also add this for Russia, China, North Korea, and historically most of european countries.

What’s the common part? That this is not war between nations, or races, it’s a class war. Creating ruling class always ends like this. Too much power in a hands of a too few people, authoritarian regime, and this is a recipe for a crisis.

Oligarchs are the problem. They are creating the system, where small group of people have all the power.

If you look in to the history, it was always like that. They would change the name of the system, but it works the same way. From monarchy to religious regimes, from capitalism to other authoritarian regimes. From time to time they will use left wing slogans i.e. Nazis was pretending to be socialists.

Look where’s the power. Who has it. If it’s in a hands of a small group, you’re fucked.
