except he is not trying to do that at all i mean it would be more accurate to say he is trying to restore the Russian empire that would be closer to accurate at least but not really that accurate either.
What would be completely accurate, then?
He's a hyper capitalist russian nationalist trying to expand his power and strengthen his position and maybe views it not as "his" but '"russian" power and position his thoughts don't matter. That's really nothing to do with soviet ideals or aesthetics other than a general nostalgia for being relevant he purposely denies soviet ideals any chance he has.
Capitalist!? Wtf are you smoking?
What exactly do you think occurred in Russia in 1991?
It sure wasn't capitalism.
I'm genuinely speechless.
Please open a fucking history book.
What even is Russia's economic system if not capitalist? Genuinely curious to what you think it is.
Please explain, the economy switched from public property as principle to private, and from the working class in power to capitalists. This is widely recognized as a transition to capitalism.
This made me laugh, thank you very much.
(it was capitalism, pick a book and read it. any book.)
It was and is, you're dumb
If you don’t know anything about anything then stop talking and start learning stuff about things.
