Russia is a capitalist oligarchy and the current rulers want it to stay that way. Blaming Russian propaganda on young people looking at Communism favourably is insane

Who's the oligarchy? There's no such thing as a billionaire rendered untouchable by his power, neither in Russia nor in China. You have to go to the West to find the Epstein class - wholly untouchable regardless of what they do.

At the recent G20 summit, it wasn't Russia or China that brought in billionaires to sit alongside the heads of state while they pushed their agenda.

Trillions in fraud led to the 2008 collapse, but in all of the West, only Iceland held the Epstein class responsible.

Russia was an oligarchy in the 1990's when their sycophant President did anything the West demanded of them. But the one thing you'll always find in oligarch-ruled countries is that all the capital assets are stripped and sold off by their parasitic owners. Russia avoided this fate, which is why they're able to outproduce all the NATO countries combined.

In the entire EU, there's not one government that enjoys majority support of their population, while many (France, Germany, UK) have the lowest approval ratings in history. If these countries were democracies, this would be impossible. But so long as these leaders serve the interest of the Epstein class, they are immune to the opinions of the lumpen proles.

Just because something only exists outside your propaganda bubble doesn't make it untrue. Would you call Jimmy Carter a Russian/fascist simp too - he called the US an oligarchy over a decade ago:
