      This might be a hard pill to swallow, but Putin is largely popular among Russians for assisting with throwing out the Western Capitalists that bought the various slices of the former USSR after “Shock Doctrine” killed 7 million people with the re-introduction of Capitalism, and the CPC has an over 90% approval rate. Political opposition is largely limited because both governments have more support among their citizenry than Western governments do.

        I’m actually really happy that you mentioned Shock Doctrine because last time I was arguing with a tankie they called Naomi Klein a US state sanctioned liberal :D

        I already replied on another comment about the support

          Shock Doctrine is good theory regardless of whatever western brainworms reside in her. If people couldn’t separate theory we’d have to throw the whole thing out with Marx’s European brainworms.
