Tldr: beating up anything that opposes current capitalism, including communists (actual revolutionary, not the one of controled opposition like KPRF), hence Lukashenko and his regime couldn’t be a beacon of socialism, he just happens to be using aesthetics with some anti-western narrative to his own profit
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.
Agree, but what does “KRPF understand this” should mean? I don’t see Zuganov being any kind of serious communist after decades of him being a bootlicker of a current regime
And yes, it is obvious that any regime will repress dissidents, the question is, regime of who - DotP repressing reactionaries or capitalists beating any kind of workers movement
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.
Oh that’s what i wanted to know, thanks, yeah i agree, we can’t take more “based option” just because - we have to think what how and why we can do
As for Zuganov and KRPF of course there is a possibility for him being removed and party becoming revolutionary vanguard one, but the tendencies shows that at least for now, party is a net that catches everyone who wants to be agaisnt Putin, capitalism etc, but isn’t ready/doesn’t know how to go far enough (as with new generation, veterans of war in Ukraine, they are becoming members of KPRF in hopes for a change that they won’t deliver just like they didn’t for 35 years). So that current putinist regime (a capitalism with post-soviet aesthetics and fascism in disguise) can continue to be (doesn’t mean any other capitalist regime is better)
Writing this sleepy, sry for any errors, anyway thanks comrade for giving your point of view
