Funnily enough Calabria is where my family originates from.

ukraine is seriously not okay

yooo why’d they make the USA a baddie 😭

Zuganov is one man. A powerful man, sure, but still only one. He isn’t the party as a whole.

I don’t know enough about Zuganov to comment on his commitment to Marxism but I sincerely doubt he’s the only one with power in the party and that none of the 160,000 or so members can do anything to remove him if they think he’s doing a bad job so I can only assume they agree with the direction he’s taken the party.

And when it comes to working against United Russia and working with United Russia while the more based option is to oppose it the smarter move is to work with them and not create instability for the U.S. to exploit.

Any intelligent regime is going to repress factions that pose a threat to its stability.

Belarus is on the border of NATO. It can’t afford instability for the West to exploit. This is why Lukashenko is involved in Ukraine, why he’s so close to Russia, and why he didn’t join the invasion when his generals threatened to rebel.

I sympathize with my comrades in Belarus but agitating against their government while NATO still exists right on their front door is a misguided decision. KPRF understands this.

Yeah, in Parenti’s defense it’s fair to be skeptical in the 90s. Shit was bleak and there was a lack of clarity going on amidst all the neolib disinfo and triumphalism.

What metric determines how “excessive” authority is? Who determines how much authority is too much? What does it look like to exceed one’s authority? Is “excessive” authority inherently bad or is that conditional on how it’s used?
