Honestly kinda feel like that was a good move if the EU fucking collapses all by itself over the economic disaster they're creating for themselves with these Russia sanctions.
Russia will nationalise everything that has ever been privatised since 1991 if it has to in order to survive. EU is fucking up badly and getting caught between the US and Russia on this and utterly fucking themselves. The EU is MUCH more reliant on Russian gas than the UK is. Russian gas is only 4% of UK supply. EU is 45%.
Yeah it'll be interesting watching how the economics side plays out in the coming months. Like whether or not the nato nerds actually go all out and self-destruct in actually trying to hold Russia accountable, or they hope everyone forgets about this whole crisis in a few weeks and quietly undo all of the sanctions. Also Russia will be an interesting watch since it seems like their economy wants to crumble in a run-away financial collapse but is being held together with their federal intervention and freeze. It's definitely going to be one hell of a show watching the cards fall
If push comes to shove... Would Russia do real-politik socialism? That sounds really fucking weird but part of me thinks it's not off the table.
Probably make it some bizarre abomination that makes a mockery of the USSR economic system
I mean... Yeah.
But if they're forced down the road of massive nationalisation then they also need to think about how to manage that politically and efficiently... If they mass nationalise then they also have to centrally plan the economy and if they centrally plan the economy they have to find ways to solve the inefficiencies of central planning.
The solution that makes sense is to devolve the planning out to local councils. Empowering them each massively.
The outcome of which would massively empower communists in the country... To the point that all you would need to establish a DOTP would be for the communists to gain top-level leadership again. It would be a restoration of a heavily corrupted workers state to some degree out of necessity as only such distribution of power can handle a near-fully nationalised economy. You're right to call it a bizarre abomination... But I see it as a possibly very beneficial direction?
