    Yup. Putin is the prime cause behind much of the world’s reactionarism, in my opinion: he is a despot and oligarch, and has helped other dictators into power.

      He’s certainly not helping, but prime cause? No way. The prime cause is that the system is fundamentally broken. The last round of fascists didn’t need Putin’s help, and it’s odd to think this batch is somehow different.

      Thank you.

      I’ve been thinking this for a decade+ but absolutely no one seemed to have figured it out!

      I bet the kremlin sponsored the anti nuclear in 1980 sweden, it all makes so much sense.
