right wing populism favours cronyism and corruption - features of Trump and Johnson

The UK runs a system where the people suffer from austerity measures and constant cuts to public services, whilst the rich benefit from privatisation of public services.


Putin is little different from a paramilitary group like the IRA - where the money comes from crime and the public are controlled by violence.

Fascism and populism share similar features.

I agree on both counts.
Fascism is extreme right, and communism is extreme left.
Another similarity between Fascism and Trump/Johnson is the disregard for democracy. It served to appoint them into their position initially, but it then becomes a hindrance to their policies.
Fascism also has homophobic, racist and misogynistic tendencies.

Whereas Putin follows the Fascist style of government, that operation is far, far removed from Communism.

Russian property and wealth is owned by the people, not the state

But not the mass of people

It is owned by a small minority of super-rich Plutocrats

Government by kleptocracy under the control of a stalinist dictator

Nothing to do with communism.

there is nothing communist about Putin or Russia.

he is a right wing dictator.

Comrade Notch you are such a laugh; I don't know how you keep a straight face!

What is right wing about the Ukraine invasion?

Putin is the new Stalin. He is from the KGB. He wants Russia as it was under Stalin, Beria, Kruschev etc. You cannot get further to the left than Stalin's Russia, which Putin wants to emulate.

no I am not

plenty of evidence of riot control in India find it yer self

and tbh I don’t really care

the point is plenty of countries meet out extreme violence to protesters

and imo some of it should be dished out to certain protestors in this country

Yeah like you!

I presume you mean right-wing, as ignorant people usually associate violence with right-wing politics. There's nothing right-wing in what's happening over there - you are seeing the full flower of communism being played out in the lands of Stalin and Lenin. Orwell said that the future of the human race is a boot stamping on a human face forever



Funny, the BBC has been spouting communist ideology for years! Are the scales now removed from its eyes? Probably not.

My bad, yes I had intended to write "right wing". For the record, I associate violence with both extremes of the political divide. I made it clear why I believe that the Putin apologists are right wingers.

I really do not understand how you see either Ukraine or Russia as being communist. The likes of Putin became extremely rich through the privatisation of companies that were previously state owned.

I can only imagine your disappointment when you landed back home and found that covid has been completely forgotten about here.

The present Russian regime was borne of communism and is keeping its torch well lit. It is the totem of commie disciples the world over. It doesn't matter where their money comes from, communist dictators have always creamed off the peasants. You'll be telling me that China is no longer communist next!

Your imagination is renowned as is your bullshizzle. You stay home where you are safe boyo, foreigners are far too frightening for your feint heart.

Russia is about as communist as Maggie Thatcher.

All restrictions have been removed, you could say that Covid is being ignored, but cases are rising again.
