EDIT - Also I'd like to thank y'all for the amazing thread we've got going here. Real mix of comedy and quality discourse on the material situation
Did you learn these words for westoid libs? Russia is not any more “oligarchic” than the bourgeois dictatorships of the west, it’s a buzzword like “regime” to scare you into thinking Russia is uniquely evil.
Putin’s agenda has been mostly anti-oligarch, in that he had to destroy their organized crime networks and privatized power to consolidate his own. Putin is seen in Russia as the force combatting oligarchs, who are seen as liberal and pro-west . Putin’s favorability increased with the invasion of Ukraine because it proved to Russians that he sides against the comprador “oligarchs” and the western capital they support, many people thought he was too moderate on them before. Dozens of “oligarchs” (Russian bourgeoise) who criticized the invasion have shown up dead since the war, Putin is further consolidating power and further purging western capitalist oligarchs

Sure but I don’t see radlibs going around constantly calling Germany or Finland oligarchies or fascist every time they are mentioned, and accusing Scholz or Marin of fulfilling an “oligarchic agenda”. It only cuts one way, like “regime” because it’s brainwashing with connotation and repetition that even westerners here have not fully purged from themselves

Well it’s further amplified by the fact that the Russian so-called oligarchs are the comprador class that sold out Russia in the 90s under Yeltsin. So the “oligarchs” Russia gets blamed for all the time are in fact the agents of the very same Western capitalist forces that posture to be “anti-oligarch”. They are using the existence of their own cronies to blame the victim they are sucking dry.
Liberals don’t know anything about Russian politics, and don’t realize that these western compradors are antagonistic with Putin who is struggling with them constantly for control
So the western nations back foreign “oligarch compradors” and are run entirely by capitalists domestically - not an oligarchy.
Colonized nations who have been infested with western cronies forcing neoliberal capitalism onto them - oligarchies apparently
you realize it’s not just western compradors who had enormous influence among the ruling class but other billionaires as well?
you think someone like Roman Abramovic was a Western comprador or do you think he was some venerable oil magnate that totally has Russia’s best interests at heart?
Every single oligarch that was made in the 90s is a western comprador, it was a western project to loot the nation and they were the local mafiosos enabling it. By definition, they are all western compradors just like every mafioso under Bautista in Cuba was a western comprador regardless of how “patriotic” they pretended to be.

Their sex predator oligarchs in Moscow. :wojak-nooo:
Our disruptive innovator geniuses in Silicon Valley. :so-true:
shut up u nerd lmao
I’ll shut up when you stop going around calling US enemy states by the names the US state department has taught you
I literally do not give a single fuck about using the correct label for Russia’s current political system, US state department enemy or not.
If you wanna cry and shid your pants because I called Putin an oligarch, go ahead.
Ok liberal. You probably called Assad a fascist during the Syrian Civil War like your programmers told you to
You really inferred all this because I said something mildly negative about Putin lmao

No because you repeat western liberal brainworms and refuse to self-criticize about your repetition of western framed propaganda. Criticize Putin in a Marxist way, not in this Liberal framing with words taught to you by radlibs in the west
Keep going around calling Assad fascist, Putin an oligarch, KJU a monarch & Castro a dictator. You are stuck in your tiny little liberal world and lash out angrily and anyone who pokes and disturbs your homeostatic bubble
Yes he called him an Oligarch.
Well known anti-oligarchism
Just say capitalism. Why do foreign nations get called feudal/barbaric/oligarchic (a pre-feudal order) while the west is capitalist? It’s all just capitalist, use real Marxist terms
Yes, the west is oligarchic. People on this site call the west an oligarchy all the fucking time.
No they don’t, they call it capitalist and specifically neoliberal. That is an accurate Marxist description. Oligarchy is pre-feudal classical economic order and has no utility to Marxist analysis. You mean to say capitalism, so say capitalism.
yeah, i just don't really care. neoliberal, capitalist, oligarch, whatever the fuck the label is for Russia, it's not communist. I'm unplugging.
:yes-comm:
Please explain to me the 'Liberal' framing in my halfhearted comment.
The unique use of “oligarchic agenda” applied to Russians is such a common Liberal trope that you are blind to it.
