Galloway in Moscow
Errol Musk (Elon’s father), is to speak at Alexander Dugin’s Tsargrad Forum for the Future in Moscow 9-10 June along with Sergei Lavrov, Matthew Groves, Alex Jones, Konstantin Malofeev and George Galloway (who gets top billing).
According to journalist Zarina Zabrisky: “Dugin’s projects and publications (in Russian and English) like Katehon and “Orthodox TV channel” Tsargrad are sponsored by Russian right-wing nationalist Konstantin Malofeev, the founder of Marshall Capital, one of the leading Russian investment groups.” Here is a thread from Zabrinsky laying out Putin and Dugin’s support for the alt-right in America and ultra-right and neo-Nazis in the West including Golden Dawn.
Alexander Dugin, sometimes referred to as “Putin’s brain” because of his ideological influence on Russian politics, endorsed the policies of Donald Trump in a CNN interview aired on March 30.
According to Kevin Riehle in the Independent: “Dugin lays a philosophical foundation for foreign parties that oppose the European Union and western liberalism, and that disrupt political unity. His views have been adopted by far-right political groups such as the German National Democratic Party, the British National Party, Golden Dawn in Greece, Jobbik in Hungary, and the National Front in France.”
Here he is with David Duke:
According to Wikipedia the Russian ‘red-brown alliance’ was forged by Dugin:
The red–brown term (Russian: красно-коричневые, krasno-korichnevye) originated in post-Soviet Russia to describe an alliance of communists and far-right (nationalist, fascist, monarchist, and religious) opposition to the liberal, pro-capitalist Russian government in the 1990s, opposing economic and social reforms such as rapid transition to a market economy through shock therapy, subsequent sharp increase in poverty and drop in living standards, and removal of many restrictions on people’s behaviour.[11] Such an alliance was first suggested by Aleksandr Dugin, an early member of the National Bolshevik Party and writer of the new Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) program.[12] As leader of the opposition, Gennady Zyuganov oversaw the partnership of the CPRF with Russian National Unity, a prominent Russian neo-Nazi party.[13]
The label ‘Communism’ needs to be reclaimed from the ludicrously reactionary morass of ethnic-nationalist Stalinism espoused by the likes of the CPRF, Putin, and their Western handmaidens.
Indeed Paddy.
It has become a false label for those who use it to shield obsessive capitalism,
and to put fear into those with small political minds.
We seem happy to continue accepting our exploration of capitalist variants.
IMO it is hard to see China or Russia as pure communist states,
but they are still lazily, but purposely, labelled that way.
