About modern "communists" and "leftists" in Russia - these are mostly former liberals, financed from the West, who simply changed their symbols. Plus, a chorus of useful idiots sings along with them with nostalgia for the times when, under the communists, he jumped like a bunny under a New Year tree and everything in life was fine.
They work too synchronously and amicably, it always happens when following a single instruction from partners. They are usually not capable of discussion - they do not heed the arguments and repeat their own like parrots (about repression, empty shelves in stores, etc.) - also a characteristic feature, they were ordered to hammer, according to the instructions, and not delve into the arguments of the interlocutor, as in normal discussions. Something like this was to be expected - it was already clear that liberal appeals for Russia did not work and the doctrine of propaganda had to be changed, it was impossible to endlessly invest money in a project that did not bring success. They really need to change slogans in order to shake Russia - Marxism will do, there is no longer Stalin among today's Marxists and they are not dangerous for bourgeois partners, besides, once this venture in Russia has already been crowned with success and there is hope that the Russians will come again on the same rake.
And as Comrade Stalin said - Cadres determine everything! And our managers are hucksters and their place is in the market.
The historically functioning model for Russian society, in which development is possible, is the left-conservative socio-economic model. It comes from the Russian traditional community, which, in turn, stems from the inability to farm alone in Russian climatic conditions (except for the extreme south), since most of the country is a zone of risky farming and your family runs the risk of starving to death alone, without support of neighbouring families. If you resettle the Germans to Russia, they too will become left-conservative for survival, I guarantee that.
Left-conservative (Stalin's cooperativism), existed in a pure form from 1929 to 1953, in a "dirty" and broken form until 1991) - socialism - based on the distribution of available resources in the economy and on conservative values in society, without prohibiting personal initiative, which existed in the form of artels, providing about half of consumer demand (completely broken by Khruschev). It seems to have died together with the USSR, but not everything is so simple. 95% of the population in the USSR was completely satisfied with socialism. But his trouble was that this did not suit the elite, who wanted more privileges, wanted the inheritance of these privileges and wanted no responsibility to society. That is why they destroyed that socialism. And if the problem of the elite's dissatisfaction with their position is solved (and history shows that the elite with its interests has always been and will always be), then socialism can still return to the historical arena (without a civil war, of course). True, I am not sure that it will be with the same measure of social justice as in the USSR. And the name of this modification of socialism is state capitalism.
I'm not a fan of that USSR at its decline, but the system itself, under which there was simply no point in stealing millions, was ingenious. Ostap Bender won't let me lie. For this alone, I'm ready to love and improve this system. So, whether we want it or not, we owe the very fact of our existence to left-conservatism, since under it the country develops, and does not export resources and brains cheaply for "partners".
Russians have never been liberal in matters of society, the "deep" Russian people are conservative to the limit in matters of family and human relations. The current right-liberal course is 100% alien to most Russians. Putin is trying to bring back conservative values, but this is a very slow process due to the enormous force of opposition.
Concerning "look down" to Russians
. Many Easterners look down on German (and Western overall) culture too, because of the idea of "superiority" over others in the shape of the skull, that is, by birthright and because of the protection of the class structure of society among Europeans and the admiration of the lower classes with the higher ones instead of wanting to abolish them.
Maybe it’s enough to write the mantras you heard once?
