  1. Socialism is dying everywhere. Its collapsing because of free market capitalism. The New Reformation has caused most centrally controlled political parties but the Chinese Communist Party to collapse from within and experience a percentage support drop to below 25 per cent. The mainstream media used to be socialist. Then flat earthers and antivaccers went online, and as a result, we now have the greatest reformation of the ages. The people now tell the news and the media is no longer able to control that.In Russia we will eventually see free market capitalism take over from where socialism still remains in some control. As a result of the collapse of socialism, governments are going to have to raise pensions to prevent poverty from spreading any further. Consequently, the pension systems are going to change. As socialism collapses, free market capitalism takes over.

  2. The single best analysis of what is going on in Russia currently out there. The video here is just talking heads, it's easier to read the transcript back on the RealNews website.

  3. Typical liberal thinking to dismiss the Communist party of Russia like that. What happened to Alexander Buzgalin? The TRNN has gone down the same hole as the Jacobin and other "lefty" news have gone.

  4. Really interesting to catch up with what has been happening in Russia after being obsessed with Yankee politics for the last couple of years!

  5. You should look into a recent police killing of a 20 something woman in Delta county Colorado, very little information is being released.

  6. If there is one thing that the Russian Elite and the American Elite agree on is that rigging elections against socialists and communist is perfectly fine.

  7. The navalny protests were tiny only most of the western outlets would have you believe otherwise Alexander mercouris did a good piece on navalny

  8. Can you speak about what happening in Algeria right now ?
    The arrest of the journalist Said Djabelkhir and the oppression of the native population in Algeria by the conservative military regime.

  9. I'm for one listening to this with full attention. The politics of Russia are important.

    Navalny is a fascist, Putin a national-capitalist authoritarian leader, the RCP (only real opposition to Putin in these many decades) is stagnated in gerontocratic nostalgia, I'm thus interested on the new renovating Russian left, which also claims inheritance from communism.

  10. Nothing is left. The siberia permafrost will crack open soon, releasing thousands of tons of methane, setting up multiple feedback loops in the atmosphere. While these half-dead geezers will discuss political power and stupid men till the end …
