    I haven’t really looked into it, but I vaguely remember someone saying CPRF was very socdemmy.

      Its as “socdemmy” as the Communist Party of China, so not at all. They literally advocate the same economic policies. The CPRF wants a socialist market economy in Russia based on Deng Xiaoping Theory and how the CPC runs China. They basically wanna import socialism with chinese charachteristics to Russia, with some differences ofc. Sure, they are not advocating for immediate revolution against Putin in Russia, but how would that be a good thing now? Russia is fighting an existential war right now in Ukraine against the west. If Russia falls to the west, its game over, China would have no chance of standing up to US imperialism. In these conditions, advocating for revolution against Putin is counterrevolutionary and reactionary, since it only favors US imperialism. This is why the CPRF does not advocate for immediate revolution right now. Instead, they advocate for supporting Putin for antiimperialism while trying to push him to the left with reformism to increase living standards of the russian working class. Once US imperialism has been defeated and/or the russian government becomes reactionary, then it will be the time for revolution.

        I hope the stakes aren’t that high for China. I see that China should have absolutely no tolerance for western backed regime change in Russia. If I were in their administration I would see it that way. So the chance of that happening and the potential fallout should be aggressively minimized.

          The stakes are that high. Just think about it, if Russia was still in the Yeltsin era, proUS neoliberal, wtf would China do? It would be encircled by hostile enemies from all sides, unable to get the cheap oil and gas it desperately needs for its economy and unable to defend itself from a blockade or a local war. It would be the end. China and Russia are each others lifeline against the west.

            And I have rabid liberals all around me having their fantasies at how to get back at Putin. It must not be tolerated on our part either (I assume you are also a westerner…).
