I wouldn’t say the current regime is really left wing, unlike the USSR. Yeltsin really leaned into the “free market” stuff (with disastrous consequences), and while Putin may have added more elements of planning and protectionism compared to that, he isn’t and doesn’t claim to be any kind of socialist.
while Putin may have added more elements of planning and protectionism
And that was as a concession to reality, basically – free market doctrine simply doesn’t work, for anybody except Wall Street and US arms dealers, and Putin was smart enough to see this. (“Reality,” said Kim Jong-Il about the future path of Russia, “is a harsh judge,” and time has proved him right).
I will for sure not defend capitalism and unregulated markets. But do you really want to quote a dictator, who definitely did not help his people, to make your point?
“An internal CIA study acknowledged various achievements of the North Korean government post-war: compassionate care for war orphans and children in general, a radical improvement in the status of women, free housing, free healthcare, and health statistics particularly in life expectancy and infant mortality that were comparable to even the most advanced nations”
Bruh even the CIA admits that the DPRK healthcare is better than the U.S
I am crying when I see those titles. Did people not visit any hostory classes? Fascism is right extremism. Russia comes from left extremism.
Left and right extremism have a lot in common, but they cannot be named interchangably!
