    Blairite labour are all posting their little eulogies about him, claiming that he was a hero of democracy. But, like, Navalny was a Neo-Nazi he wasn’t gonna democratise shit. Like, why hitch your wagon to one of the Russian politicians more reactionary than Putin, especially now he’s dead?

      NATO monkey brain short circuits to pitting nazis against Russia. Any other logic or consideration is immediately hurled out of the window.

      Because when they say “democratise”, they actually mean “privatise everything and start selling out to international financial capital”. Don’t forget: nazis were a tool of the bourgeoisie to clamp down on proletariat and ensure private profits

        I understand why the liberals disingenuously label live Nazis as freedom fighters, like, they do it so often that at this point I wonder if it’s an involuntary reflex for them to cheer when they see a swastika.

        I don’t understand why they’re still doing it now he’s dead and therefore no longer any use to them.

    A little reminder of who this fascist CIA asset was: he regularly participated in neo-nazi marches, advocated to strip non-ethnic Russians of their Russian citizenship, and called muslim Chechens “cockroaches”.

      It was so bad that even western media was forced to report on it. In 2021, a BBC article reported even Amnesty International was forced to strip Navalny’s “prisoner of conscience” status for the violence and hate he unremorsefully promoted https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-56181084

      That same month, US government-funded Radio Free Europe likewise was forced to concede Navalny’s extremist background https://www.rferl.org/a/navalny-failure-to-renounce-nationalist-past-support/31122014.html

      If he had really conquered power libs would have been like “oh no how could this happen, no one could’ve ever forseen that he would be even worse than Putin 😭”

        If he had opened Russian markets to exploitation by Wall Street they wouldn’t have cared.

        Western libs still look back fondly on the Yeltsin years…

          We have pretty conclusive proof they were trying to make him into the Russian Guaido. There’s a clip going around from 2013 claimed to be either Navalny himself or the director of his “anti-corruption” fund (either way makes no difference) that shows them asking a British MI6 agent for 10-20 million dollars in order to plan, in their own words “mass protests, civil initiatives, propaganda, establishing contacts with elites”.

          My bet is that the West decided now that he was going to serve a decades long sentence for numerous crimes he was no longer worth anything as an asset and they burned him. They did it at an opportune enough moment to create distraction from unfavorable developments and try to use this along with the fearmongering story they ran about Russian space nukes to get the US Congress to give them the money for more weapons to Ukraine.

      The only thing the Western media portrayed him as was as an opponent of Putin. His nationalist tendencies were unknown to Western libs.

        As so was his irrelevancy in the general landscape of Russian politics.

        Racist US backed stooge who got dooped into ending up in a Russian prison lol. IIRC he was advised to return to Russia to be sone kinda martyr by his handlers (he had no real mass appeal in Russia and he was being propped up as the 2nd runner up in power lol)

          How is he U.S backed, and how does he have a handler (really, no mass appeal)

          Can you explain (I’m out of the loop)?
